\"codorniuThis great-value cava is produced by a winemaking dynasty that dates back to the sixteenth century. An early mention confirms that, in 1551, the family already had equipment to produce wine in Sant Sadurn\u00ed d\u2019Anoia, the town that Codorn\u00edu calls home. In 1659 the Codorn\u00edu and Ravent\u00f3s families, the main wine makers, were joined by marriage. It was in 1872 that Josep Ravent\u00f3s became the first man to produce a bottle of sparkling wine by using traditional methods and combining the local varietals from the Pened\u00e8s region of Spain.<\/p>\n

Codorniu Non-Vintage Cava Brut is made using the traditional trio of cava grape varieties: Macabeo, Xarel-lo and Parellada. Xarel-lo is a white grape grown in Catalonia. It is a cross between Brustiano faux and ‘Gibi’, a synonym for the Spanish Heb\u00e9n grape.\u00a0 The Macabeo and Parellada grapes are mainly used to make mildly acidic and fresh white wines to be enjoyed young, or to blend with other varieties as in this case.<\/p>\n

A fresh, crisp and elegant sparkling wine with light and summery flavours of citrus and apple, with fine and pleasingly enduring bubbles. An ideal good value sparking wine to enjoy well-chilled or made into simple cocktails. It\u2019s delightful when partnered with just a teaspoon of lychee liqueur in each glass with a garnish of a pink blossom. I call this a Canton Cava.<\/p>\n
