Anna de Codorníu Brut

Spain’s Best-Selling Cava.

codorniu annaThe Codorníu estate has more than 450 years of history. They are the oldest wine and cava producer in Spain – and that is quite the accolade. They obviously do what they do do well to last that long in such a competitive market. Anna de Codorníu Brut Cava is a solid expression of their work.

It’s summer and we look for delicious drinks to enjoy on warm evenings both before and with dinner. A glass of cava fits the bill, and at a very reasonable price considering it’s made using the same method as for Champagne! Anna de Codorníu Brut Cava is a great all-rounder.

This cava is made from a melange of Chardonnay, Parellada, Xarel-lo and Macabeo grapes. It’s fresh and delicate and is perfect served with white meat, salads, shellfish and light grilled fish. It can be made into a classic Champagne Cocktail or a Bellini or Kir. Serve well chilled in Champagne flutes or coupes. It’s suitable for vegetarians and vegans, so perfect for pleasing a crowd.

Tasting Notes:

Appearance: delicate yellow with plenty of lingering bubbles
Nose: balanced fruit and acidity
Palate: stone fruit and green apples; refreshing
