Character & context
Understanding Cava
Cava uses the traditional method, with the second fermentation in bottle. Familiar grapes include Macabeo, Xarel·lo and Parellada, although others are authorised. Time on the lees can shift the wine from fresh apple and citrus toward toast and more savoury depth. Compare origin, ageing category and sweetness together.
