If Champagne is the king of sparkling wine, with Prosecco its party mad princess, where does that leave Cava, the traditional fizz of Spain?

It is certainly no ugly sister. Unlike Prosecco, which is made using the tank method, Cava is made in the same meticulous manner as Champagne using the traditional method, with a second fermentation in the bottle.

Cava is an unusual DO as it covers several different, non-contiguous areas across Spain. The vast majority however is produced in the Catalan vineyards of Penedes.

The traditional grape varieties used in Cava production include Xarel-lo, Macabeo (Viura) & Parellada for the white wines.

We have chosen three Cavas from Vilarnau, a prestigious name in Penedes which show three quite different styles. All are made organically and suitable for vegans.

Vilarnau Brut Nature Reserva
Made from Macabeo, Parellada and Chardonnay grapes and bottle aged for over 24 months in temperature-controlled cellars before disgorgement. Bone dry & closest in style to a champagne with a delicate mousse.

Vilarnau Edicion Limitada
With a 20-percentage dosage of Malvasia grape this Cava has a slight sweetness.

Vilarnau Brut Rosado
10 percent Pinot Noir gives this dry cava a beautiful pink colour & a concentration of raspberry & strawberry flavours.
