AN INTRO TO CAVA
Cava, Spanish sparkling wine made in the méthode champenoise, was first produced by Don José Raventós, head of Codorníu winery, in 1872. Today, there are over 175 Cava producers in the Penedés region which lies to the west of Barcelona. The Penedés area is set off by the natural boundaries of the Montserrat Massif to the north, and the Mediterranean Sea to the east and south. A great many micro-climates are within the region. The principal grape varieties grown in Penedés and used to make Cava are: Xarello, Macabeo and Parellada. Cava is part of the everyday Spanish life which places priority on gathering with friends over lengthy meals. Salut!
