Color, taste: bubbles, lightly sweet Grape variety: macabeo, parellada, xarel.lo Country, region: Spain, Penedès Nice with: Cheese, Dessert For several years now, cava has been the trendy alternative to champagne. Not because it is new, as cava has existed for a long time. At Codorníu even since 1850. Back then, Josep Raventós i Fatjó, a member of the Codorníu family, ventured into sparkling wine. He had visited Champagne and learned how the bubbles are created in the wine there. At home in Penedès, 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, a cava is often a bit stronger and fuller, making it very suitable to enjoy with spicy small dishes.
