Cava Brut - White Spanish Wine
Wine of Spain
Codorniu Brut, a faithful reflection of the first cava created by Codorníu in 1872 which still maintains its original blend of the three traditional cava grape varieties: Macabeo, Xarel.lo and Parellada. Like Champagne, Cava is made according to the Traditional Method. The second fermentation, to produce bubbles and the unique flavour, takes place in this bottle. A fresh, crisp and elegant sparkling wine with attractive flavours of citrus and apple with fine, persistent bubbles.

Codorniu are brand leaders in premium Cava in Spain, and their winery at Sant Sadurni near Barcelona is a World Heritage Site with over 150,000 visitors visiting it every year.
Regional information: Based near Barcelona in Spain, Codorníu have now completed over 460 harvests and have the largest number of privately owned vineyards in Europe. Proudly Catalonian, this vineyard ownership and historical experience delivers wines of top quality, from the sourcing and management of grapes in their vineyards, through to the crisp, refreshing sparkling wine in your glass. The Cava grapes come from the Mediterranean climate zone within the D.O.Cava appellation of Penedès in north-east Spain.
Vinification: This sparkling wine is made in the traditional method, in the same way as Champagne, with a secondary fermentation in the bottle. This gives the wine depth of flavour, elegance and long-lasting, fine bubbles. Codorníu Brut is made from a special blend of the classic cava grapes: Macabeo, Xarel-lo and Parellada.
