What is Cava?

Cava is a sparkling wine from Spain , primarily produced in Catalonia around Penedès. It is made with traditional secondary fermentation in the bottle , just like Champagne and Crémant. The difference lies in the grapes and climate – and in the more affordable price.

Grapes in Cava

The classic grapes in Cava are:

• Macabeo – provides freshness and floral notes

Some Cavas also use Chardonnay and Pinot Noir – especially in prestige editions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Cava and Champagne?

Both are made with bottle fermentation, but Cava uses different grapes, comes from Spain, and is usually aged for a shorter period. Cava is often fresher and fruitier , where Champagne can be more complex and nutty.

Is Cava sweet?

Most Cavas are Brut or Extra Brut – that is, dry. If you prefer a little sweetness, you can choose a Demi-Sec.

How long can Cava be stored?

Standard Cava should be drunk young and fresh – within 2–3 years. Reserva and Gran Reserva can be aged longer and gain complexity with time.
