What is a Spanish Cava?

This delicious Spanish sparkling wine deserves your full attention. The term “Cava”, which means “cellar” or “wine cellar” in Catalan and Spanish, refers to the underground cellars where this Spanish sparkling wine was traditionally stored during its aging process.

It is produced using the traditional method (also known as the méthode champenoise) in which the second fermentation (which creates the bubbles) takes place in the bottle. The name “Cava” was adopted for this sparkling wine in 1970, in reference to these ageing cellars.

Generally referred to as brut , these Spanish sparkling wines are produced exclusively in Spain. Depending on the length of bottle ageing, there are three main families: Cava (9 months minimum), Cava Reserva (15 months minimum) and Cava Gran Reserva, which must be aged for at least 30 months in the same bodega.

The price of Brut is much more affordable than Champagne, due to the longer ageing period (15 months in the cellar and a minimum of three years in Champagne for vintage wines). Opinions differ, but this Spanish wine offers excellent value for money.

Its fine bubbles, fruity and floral aromas, and distinct palette of flavors make it an excellent alternative to champagne. But how do you enjoy it without having to finish it all at once? The answer is simple: use Bubbl.

FAQ:

1. Is Cava and Prosecco the same thing ?
No, they are two types of sparkling wine that originate in different regions and are produced using different methods. Although both are often drunk as alternatives to champagne, there are significant differences between them.

  1. Origin: Cava comes from Spain, mainly the Catalonia region, while Prosecco is an Italian sparkling wine from the Veneto region.
  2. Grape varieties: It is fabricated mainly from Macabeu, Parellada and Xarel-lo grapes, while Prosecco is made from Glera.
  3. Production method: Cava is produced according to the traditional method (or champenoise method), where the second fermentation (which produces the bubbles) takes place in the bottle. This is the same method used for champagne. Prosecco, on the other hand, is usually produced using the Charmat method, where the second fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks before bottling.
  4. Taste: Because of these differences, they have distinct flavor profiles. Cava often has a more complex flavor and can present notes of green apple, pear and lemon with hints of toast due to its aging on lees. Prosecco tends to be fruitier and more floral, with notes of apple, pear, peach, melon and white flowers.

These differences can certainly affect your choice of sparkling wine, depending on your taste preferences and the type of meal you plan to serve it with.

 

2. Can you drink Cava by itself? ?
Tasting Cava, like any sparkling wine, can be a rewarding and tasty experience with a personal touch. Here’s a simple method:

  1. Glass preparation: Choose a champagne glass or flute, which are designed to retain bubbles and concentrate aromas.
  2. Mix aromas: Pour a dash of lemon juice and a touch of liquid honey into each glass. Mixing: Stir gently until the honey has completely dissolved.
  3. Adding the Cava: Top up slowly with the Cava, pouring it slowly down the side of the glass to retain as many bubbles as possible.
  4. Garnish: Add the finishing touch with a few edible violets for an elegant presentation.
  5. Tasting: Take your time to enjoy the effervescent bubbles and subtle, complex aromas.

If you can’t finish your bottle of Cava, don’t forget to use your Bubbl. to preserve its effervescence and flavors for future tasting.

 

3. Is Cava only from Spain?
Yes, it’s a sparkling wine made in Spain. Although It can be produced in several wine-growing regions across the country, the vast majority (over 95%) is produced in Catalonia, in the Penedès region southwest of Barcelona.

The town of Sant Sadurní d’Anoia, in particular, is considered its birthplace. Some of the largest and oldest wineries are located here, including Codorníu and Freixenet.
