For a few years now, cava has been the trendy alternative to champagne. Not because it is new, because cava has been around for a long time. At Codorniu even since 185. Then Josep Raventos i Fatjo, a Codorniu descendant, ventured into the bubble. He had visited Champagne and learned how the bubbles get into the wine there. At home in the Penedes he followed the same method. Because Josep used Spanish grape varieties, his sparkling wine got a completely unique look. And cava still has that. Compared to champagne, a cava is often a bit firmer and fuller, so you can eat spicy tapas very well with it.
