Sparkling wines’ lovers obviously know Champagne, and sometimes Prosecco, which is currently very popular because of its price and the success of the Spritz, a cocktail of which it is one of the main ingredients. But who really knows Cava, this "Spanish champagne" which is for most specialists the best quality-for-money sparkling wines you can find? And that's a shame.
Made in the traditional method or “method champenoise” but in a different terroir (mainly Peñedes in Catalonia, Spain) and with other grape varieties (mainly Macabeu, Parellada and Xarel.lo), Cava is not just another sparkling wine. After a small tasting, we are more than convinced that you will agree with our assessment: it has all the characteristics of a great sparkling wine. Elegant on the palate, tiny bubbles, good acidity, we just love it! And that's why we wanted to offer you a beautiful special Cava box tasting with 3 very interesting Cava bottles.
Champagne and cava lovers will be more than pleasantly surprised!

Winery: Rimarts
The name of our small producer (Rimarts) comes from a contraction of that of the founder of the winery, Mr. Ricard Martinez Simón, who decided in 1987 to create totally artisanal Cavas, where the production processes would be traditional, very precise, using only ecological grapes and where mechanical handling would be reduced to a strict minimum. And it is this philosophy that still guides the winery today. To check it, all you have to do is having a look at the bottle label: you will be able to read for instance the disgorgement date of your bottle! Precision.
In this cava from the Penedès region, the most renowned terroir for the production of the best cavas, we find the traditional coupage of the region: Macabeu, Xarel.lo and Parellada. Unlike many champagnes, cavas are vintage which gives each cava its specificity. Another particularity of this cava compared to champagne: it is a "natural" cava, which means no expedition liqueur (no sugar) is add after disgorging what gives an additional finesse to this brilliant sparkling wine.
Golden yellow colour, the bubbles are small, persistent and very well integrated. Complex, with a nice intensity and enjoyable aromas of aging, ripe fruits, and toasted herbaceous notes, it offers a beautiful length in mouth with a very pleasant finish.
A signature organic cava of the Penedès very nice to taste alone for the aperitif, but which can also accompany perfectly a meal from beginning to end.
Ideal serving temperature: 5-6ºC.
Winery: Maria Casanovas, Penedes, Sant Sadurni d'Anoia
Founded in 1984 in the heart of the cava region (Penedès, Catalonia), this small winery owes its name to the family matriarch. Maria Casanovas produces limited batches featuring original, unique blends with no added sugar in the expedition liqueur – hence the ‘nature’ designation. These are cavas of internationally recognised quality.
Maria Casanovas Gran Reserva Brut Nature is a sparkling wine made from the Chardonnay, Macabeo, Pinot Noir and Xarel·lo grape varieties by Maria Casanovas in the Cava Designation of Origin (Sant Sadurní d’Anoia); in other words, it is made from the traditional Cava varieties plus Pinot Noir and Chardonnay—two of the three varieties used in French Champagne—which gives this exceptional cava a French Champagne-style touch.
Maria Casanovas Gran Reserva Brut Nature is produced using the ‘méthode champenoise’ with the winery’s finest base wines. A traditional blend from the Penedès region, which undergoes a second fermentation in the bottle for a minimum of 30 months before disgorgement. The presence of Chardonnay provides structure and complexity, whilst the feminine Pinot Noir lends elegance and delicacy, defining the winery’s style.
The Brut Nature Gran Reserva has a brilliant straw-yellow colour with persistent fine bubbles and a lovely string of bubbles, and a very elegant bouquet. Aromas of yeast (brioche), minerals, apple and hazelnuts, with a complex and lingering flavour. A delicately flavourful and well-structured Cava, refined and elegant... It is guaranteed to wow you…
Ideal serving temperature: between 4 and 8ºC

Winery: Rimarts
We have decided to offer you a second cava tasting from the Rimarts Bodega because we believe that, in addition to being an organic cava, their Gran Reserva is a true reference for lovers of Catalan bubbles. A majestic and very versatile cava. It impressed us with its harmony, amplitude and elegance. Its creaminess, roundness and beautiful structure make it unique.
A blend of the 3 typical grape varieties of the region (Xarel-lo, Macabeo, Parellada) and Chardonnay (one of the 3 most emblematic grape varieties of French champagne) with a long ageing period of 40 months, it is a little wonder. Its ripe white fruit aromas are complemented by tertiary nuances of toast, yeast and dried fruit. Its perfectly integrated bubbles bring out all its aromas and carry us to a long and very pleasant finish. It leaves behind sensations of great precision and sincerity, with notes of citrus, flowers and fine pastry.
It is a cava that can accompanied to any moment, but it is particularly well suited to elaborate dishes, accompanying a meal from beginning to end, from starters to main course to dessert, provided that the latter is very restrained in its sweetness.
A great gastronomic cava that will surprise bubble lovers!
Serve between 5ºC and 6ºC.
