The carbonation cuts through the fat
The source below talks about the acidity cutting through the fat, I think this is the same idea; it cuts through the fat and leaves the mouth feeling clean.

the carbonation eliminates the fat
I would say
9 hrs
The bubbles cleanse the fat
An option. "Bubbles" sounds a bit more enticing than "carbonic/carbonation"...

An alternative to "bubbles" could be "fizz"...
"The bright acidity and bubbles give life to your tongue, and the fizz cleanses the palate with each sip."

And, for the more picky among us who don't like "fat/grease", "cleanse the palate" is a standard expression, as in the example above.

: I don't think you have "fat" in your mouth or palate after eating cheese. Grease, surely?

Cava and Fish
Cava is an excellent combination with fish. Particularly interesting is the combination with blue fish such as sardines, mackerel, anchovies, bonito, tuna or salmon, as the effect of the carbonic gas helps to compensate the greasy sensation in the mouth.

'Carbónico' is carbon dioxide gas.

Based on the following, I think I would use something like 'the carbon dioxide gas leaves the mouth feeling fresh and clean'.
Aftertaste: The "shadow taste" remaining in your mouth just after swallowing a sip of wine. Sparkling wines strive for a special delicacy in the taste; a taste which quickly "melts away" after swallowing, leaving your mouth fresh and clean.

: The carbonic gas "cleans the greasy sensation from the palate" perhaps?//Cleanses rather than cleans I think. Certainly nothing with "fat" works here. Why not post it, you found the reference?

Yes, something like that and using grease/greasy; 'cutting through fat' sounds horrible! Thank you, patinba :-)

| agree |
neilmac
: I don't agree that "fat" doesn't work. To me, fat and grease are six of one and half a dozen of the other.

I associate 'limpia la grasa' with an advert for washing up liquid or a product for cleaning the kitchen!
