What is Catalan cava?

Catalan cava is a sparkling wine made following the traditional method (the same used for Champagne), but produced primarily in the Penedès region of Catalonia, Spain. It’s crafted through a second fermentation in the bottle, which gives it its characteristic bubbles and complexity.
Unlike Champagne, cava typically uses native grape varieties such as Macabeu, Xarel·lo and Parellada, although some modern cavas also incorporate international grapes like Chardonnay or Pinot Noir. As a result, we get a fresh, elegant, and versatile wine, ideal for celebrations but also perfect for food pairing.
Codorníu, one of the oldest family-run wineries in Spain, was a pioneer in the production of cava, with roots dating back to the 16th century and the first bottles of cava produced in 1872.
