Codorniu

This sparkling wine pays tribute to the year that Josep Raventós created the very first bottle of cava in 1872, reviving the traditional way of making cava, with the same varieties, in a bottle inspired by the modernist stained glass windows in the Codorníu winery.

Codorníu reflects the history, tradition, passion and expertise of family-owned business with more than 450 years of history, sine 1551. Codorníu produced the first-ever bottle of Cava in 1872 and is today Spain's longest-standing producer of wine and cava, maintaining its leading position in the production of quality wines and cavas.

Macabeo, Xarel·lo and Parellada

The grapes used to make Cuvée Barcelona 1872 are from the local varietals, Macabeu, Xarel·lo and Parellada, carefully picked on vineyards located in the Mediterranean climatic zone of the DO Cava (north-east Spain). 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 own vineyards and pressing centres, to the crisp and refreshing sparkling wine in your glass.

Palestraw yellow colour with a fine mousse. Predominantly fruity aromas of white fruit (apple, pear), citrus and notes of white flowers. On the palate, an expressive and balanced mouthfeel that is fresh and creamy.

Codorniu

A cava to be enjoyed at any time of day, from brunch to dinner, or as an aperitif. Pairs well with a varied cuisine: cold dishes, cheeses, rice dishes, meat casseroles and stews, etc.

Brut

This sparkling wine is made through the traditional method, in the same way as Champagne. The wines are aged for a minimum of 9 months, where a second fermentation takes places inside each bottle, naturally producing the cava´s bubbles. This process gives the wine depth of flavour, elegance and long-lasting, fine bubbles.
