Cava

Contevedo Cava is another reliable sparkling, vibrant, savoury and refreshing, ideal for festive parties and seafood or cheese boards.

Most Cava comes from the Penedès region, just outside Barcelona, it’s savoury, refreshing and citrus.

The highlights of my voyage of discovery into Cava land has been undoubtedly the Codorniu, Art Collecta Blanc de Noirs Reserva 2017 and the Roger Goulart, Gran Reserva Josep Valls, 2019) priced at £22 and £25 respectively.

Crafted using the traditional method like Champagne, Cava boasts a rich heritage and a distinct character.

At the heart of Cava production lie three grape varieties: Macabeo, Xarel·lo, and Parellada.

Cava is often less expensive than Prosecco, although this can depend on the specific brands and quality levels.
