International Cava Day – April 23, 2021

If you are looking for an outstanding sparkling wine, today is your day; International Cava Day!

Cava is a Spanish sparkling wine, produced mainly in the Catalonia region. It can be either white or rose and is often made from Macabeo, Parellada and Xarello grapes. However, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Trepat Garnacha and Monastell grapes are also used to make certain Cava.

Cava is not just any sparkling, it is a traditionally made sparkling, requiring similar care to Champagne and other sought after sparkling. This traditional method produces a richer, more complex sparkling with flavours of zesty citrus, minerality and nuttiness, with soft/fine bubbles giving of a creaminess with every sip.

Don’t let this budget friendly sparkling fool you; it’s delicious and parallels Champagne in many ways. Enjoy it today! Salud!
