What is Cava?

Cava is a sparkling wine that is made in the Spanish region of Catalonia, although it is also produced in other parts of the country. It is made following the traditional method of second fermentation in the bottle, like that used in the production of French champagne.

Cava is made from white grapes such as Macabeo, Parellada, and Xarel·lo, although red grapes such as Garnacha can also be used. The grapes are pressed and fermented in stainless steel tanks before being mixed and bottled with a mixture of sugar and yeast to start the second fermentation in the bottle. During this process, carbon dioxide is formed and remains trapped in the bottle, creating the characteristic bubbles of cava.

Cava can be found in assorted styles, from brut (dry) to sweet, and can be enjoyed as an aperitif or with meals. It is a very popular drink in Spain and around the world and is produced in a wide variety of brands and prices.

What is the history of D.O. Cava?

DO. Cava is an exclusively Catalan designation of origin for sparkling wines made with the champagne method, the same method as champagne, which consists of a double fermentation, where the second is already in the bottle and is the one that will provide all the fine bubbles so characteristic of this wonderful sparkling wine.

With the ingenuity, effort, and creativity of a few producers and viticulturists, after being struck by phylloxera, they began to make history with 3 white grape varieties: Macabeu, Xarel·lo and Parellada to define what would be called Cava. In 1991 the regulation of the Cava Denomination of Origin was approved together with the Regulatory Council.

What characteristics does cava have?

They are sparkling wines balanced in acidity, sweetness, and body that have to strictly follow the regulations proposed by the Regulatory Council. In addition, each of the grapes used for its production contributes different things. For example, the Macabeo grape is fruity both on the palate and on the nose. The Parellada grape is exceptionally fine and fresh. Finally, the Xarel·lo grape provides body and structure.

Cava is a sparkling wine that has certain characteristics that make it unique and different from other types of wines. Cava is characterized by a large number of fine and persistent bubbles released in the glass, forming a crown of foam on the surface of the wine. It also has a fruity and fresh aroma, with notes of apple, pear, citrus, and white flowers. It may also have notes of yeast, toast, and dried fruit, derived from the bottle fermentation process. The alcoholic graduation of cava is usually between 11.5 and 12.5 degrees. Cava can be made from different grape varieties, the most common being Macabeo, Parellada and Xarel·lo. Other varieties such as Chardonnay or Pinot Noir can also be used.

What flavours do cava have?

The cava is dry and refreshing on the palate, with balanced acidity and a persistent fruit flavor. Depending on the type of cava, it can present notes of nuts, toast or honey.

Where is the capital of Cava?

The Penedès wine region, specifically in Sant Sadurní d'Anoia, is where the capital of Cava is located. After making the print run, the first bottles were housed in underground caves known as cellars where the temperature and humidity levels were always the same.

What differences are there between cava and champagne?

The grape varieties are different, the climate is very different since in the Penedès there are many more hours of sunshine, the fermentation time of the must, and the absence of sugars. Really, cavas and champagnes are only similar in their production method, since both the taste, tasting, and their bubbles are different.
