Not because it is new, as cava has existed for a long time. At Codorniu even since 185. Back then, Josep Raventos i Fatjo, a member of the Codorniu family, ventured into sparkling wine. He had visited Champagne and learned how the bubbles are created in the wine there. At home in the Penedes, he followed the same method. Because Josep used Spanish grape varieties, his sparkling wine gained a completely unique character. And cava still has that today. Compared to champagne, cava is often a bit stronger and fuller, making it very suitable to enjoy with spicy tapas.
