CAVA WINE BRANDS FOR A PERFECT MEDITERRANEAN MEAL​

Penedes Cava is the most famous sparkling drink in Catalonia; only the wines that are fermented with champenoise tradicional method and inside permited areas (Denominación de Origen) can be labelled as Spanish Cava. Although there are Cava regions all over Spain, the 95% of all cava is produced in the Penedès wine region in Catalonia (40km from Barcelona), and most of it it’s Sant Sadurni d’Anoia Cava (the village with most cava cellars in the area).

In a near past, Cava was often consumed only at celebrations like baptisms, dinners, parties or marriages and only during dessert. But little by little it has become a drink for all occasions. Nowadays, locals drink Penedes Cava during meals as if it was wine, and you can even order a glass of Cava in most bars and restaurants!

If you have never tasted Cava, we encourage you to do it!
That’s why today we are recommending you a few Cavas to get introduced to the Cava world : well known Cavas easy to find in most bars and restaurants.

These are our favorite Barcelona cava brands (mostly Sant Sadurni d’Anoia cava):​

1

Anna de Codorniu​

Anna was the Codorniu heiress who married the viticulturist Miquel Raventós in 1659. Since then, Raventós Family has owned Codorniu and retained the Anna name as a world-renowned brand. It has become Codorniu’s most emblematic cava due to its history, quality and versatility.

Plus it was the first Cava to incorporate Chardonnay in its coupage which gives it delicate aromas and an unmistakable freshness that come together with a unique character. Well balanced and refreshing on the palate. Although cava matches with all kinds of food, this one is perfect for aperitif, shellfish, white fish, sushi and sashimi or lightly spiced carpaccio.

Llopart Reserva Brut Nature​

The first bottle of Llopart was made in 1887. Since then the Llopart family has dedicated all their efforts to cultivate the best vines to elaborate a high quality “craft” Caves. Its Cavas are the expression of a land and vine essence, which still remains the very goal of their family. 

Its Reserva Brut Nature is a great classic among all Reserva Cavas, it’s fine and light in mouth and completely dry and soft. Very versatile, ideal to have it alone or to accompany any dish. If you have the opportunity though, we would recommend as well the Brut Nature Integral, as well as its Gran Reserva Leopardi.
