Varietal Champagne Blend

The sparkling wines of Champagne have been revered by wine drinkers for hundreds of years, and even today they maintain their reputation for excellence of flavor and character, and are consistently associated with quality, decadence, and a cause for celebration. Their unique characteristics are partly due to the careful blending of a small number of selected grape varietals, most commonly Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. These grapes, blended in fairly equal quantities, give the wines of Champagne their wonderful flavors and aromas, with the Pinot Noir offering length and backbone, and the Chardonnay varietal giving its acidity and dry, biscuity nature. It isn't unusual to sometimes see Champagne labeled as 'blanc de blanc', meaning it is made using only Chardonnay varietal grapes, or 'blanc de noir', which is made solely with Pinot Noir.

Country Spain

Ever since the Phoenicians and Romans brought their knowledge of vine cultivation to Spanish soils, the country's culture has grown alongside wine production, with wine being a vital part of Spanish identity and Spanish traditions. Each region of Spain has a wine quite distinct from the others, and it is produced by smallholders and families as much as it is by large companies and established wineries. From the relatively mild and lush regions of La Rioja to the arid plateaus that surround Madrid, grapes are grown in abundance for the now booming Spanish wine industry, and new laws and regulations have recently been put in place to keep the country's standards high. By combining traditional practices with modern technology, Spanish wineries are continuing to produce distinctive wines of great character, flavor and aroma, with the focus shifting in recent decades to quality over quantity.

Region Cataluna

The beautiful Spanish wine region of Catalunya has a history of viticulture which stretches back for over a thousand years, and has been influenced by a wide range of people who moved through the region, and brought their wine making skills and expertise with them. The region itself is a sizeable one, covering an area of sixty thousand hectares, and within this space there resides over two hundred individual wineries, ranging from small, independent and traditional ones to the larger, mass production bodegas known around the world. The terroir of Catalunya is varied, and ranges from being dry and arid, to more lush and green in the wetter parts of the region which are closer to the coast. This variation in terroir results in a fantastic range of grape varietals being grown, and a wide range of wine styles are produced within Catalunya.

Appellation Cava

Cava is Spain’s flagship sparkling wine, produced under the Denominación de Origen (DO) Cava. Most comes from Catalonia’s Penedès region, though approved zones exist in other parts of Spain. The name “Cava” is legally protected within the EU, so only wines made in these areas, following strict rules, may use it.

Cava is crafted using the traditional method (método tradicional), with a second fermentation in the bottle to create its natural bubbles. Primary grapes are native varieties—Macabeo, Xarel·lo, and Parellada—though Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are also permitted. Aging requirements range from a minimum of 9 months on the lees for standard Cava to over 30 months for Cava de Paraje Calificado.

The style typically offers bright acidity, fine bubbles, and flavors of citrus, green apple, and subtle toastiness. Its versatility, from bone-dry Brut Nature to sweeter styles, makes Cava both an affordable everyday sparkler and a worthy celebratory wine.

Vinous Media

The 2016 Brut Gran Reserva Núria Claverol Homenatge, a Cava de Guarda Superior Gran Reserva, opens with aromas of lime biscuit, marzipan and custard. Caramel and gentle herbal notes reflect its evolution. The palate shows a certain delicacy typical of its age, though the tertiary flavors remain well defined. A tension between its chalky texture and freshness reinforces its very dry profile. Disgorged: January 2024.
