D.O. Cava

On March 18th, D.O. CAVA presented the five new Cavas de Guarda Superior de Paraje Calificado in an exclusive tasting led by Ferran Centelles. A session to explore the excellence of this category through creations from Carles Andreu, Sumarroca and Vins El Cep, each one reflecting its origin and craftsmanship. During the tasting, Ferran Centelles summed it up: “The Cava de Guarda Superior de Paraje Calificado is the most precise expression of origin.” A vision that reinforces a path focused on quality, authenticity and respect for origin. The event also welcomed four new Integral Producers, Celler Eudald Massana, Cavas Bolet, Torrens Moliner and Rovellats, a seal that identifies wineries that they carry out the entire winemaking process on their own property. #DOCava #CavaDeGuardaSuperior #ParajeCalificado #Origin #Excellence #TastingCava

La D.O. CAVA ha cerrado el ejercicio 2025 con 190 millones de botellas comercializadas, consolidando su apuesta por la calidad y el valor. Los Cavas de Guarda Superior —Reserva, Gran Reserva y Cava de Paraje Calificado— crecieron un 1,41%, reforzando su papel como motor de la categoría. La estrategia se centra en largas crianzas, origen y excelencia, fundamentos que proyectan el futuro del Cava. Durante el año, más de 200 profesionales visitaron el territorio del Cava y se intensificó la comunicación internacional, con un encuentro en Canadá, seis actos en Japón y la segunda edición del congreso Cava Meeting, que reunió a más de 120 profesionales del sector. Según Javier Pagés, presidente del Consejo Regulador, estos Cavas de mayor valor añadido representan “un gran potencial de crecimiento para el futuro de la categoría”. 🔗 Más información en: cava.wine/es/ultimas-not… #DOCava #Cava #CavaPremium #GuardaSuperior #GranReserva #ParajeCalificado #Origen #Territorio #Calidad #Sostenibilidad

Following her deep dive into the territory and grape varieties, Karen MacNeil concludes her three-part series on D.O. Cava with a final analysis focused on the "aliveness" and vibrancy of these world-class Cavas. In this third installment, the author of The Wine Bible explores the factors that create Cava’s sustained freshness and purity: from the precision of the traditional method and extended aging on the lees —reaching over 36 months in the Guarda Superior category— to the profound commitment to organic and biodynamic viticulture. MacNeil highlights how 100% organic farming in the higher tiers amplifies flavor and reflects a deep respect for the environment. Through conversations with leading producers, she illustrates how sustainability, clean viticulture, and the unique Mediterranean air converge to create Cavas that are not only "serious" and balanced but also a true expression of their origin.

Last week, we had the pleasure of welcoming a group of Japanese buyers to the Cava territory as part of a reverse trade mission. Throughout the week, the group visited several wineries across the region, gaining first-hand insight into the vineyards, facilities and the diversity of styles that define Cava. These visits offered a valuable opportunity to deepen their understanding of the territory and its winemaking traditions. We would also like to thank all the participating wineries for their warm welcome and for dedicating their time to host and share their work with the visiting agents. An important step in continuing to strengthen ties with the Japanese market and reinforcing Cava’s international presence. #DOCava #Cava #CavaWineries #CavaTerritory #SparklingWine

The prestige apex of Cava grows with five new Guarda Superior Paraje Calificado Cavas, bringing the total to 15 wines in this top-tier category. The select club of Guarda Superior Paraje Calificado Cavas has welcomed five new members following their ratification by the Ministry of Agriculture and publication in the Official State Gazette (BOE). Three of the new additions come from Sumarroca: Núria Claverol Allier Finca Cols, Núria Claverol Homenatge Finca Peretes, and Núria Claverol Blanc de Noirs Finca Rosendo. Also L’Era del Celdoni by Carles Andreu, from the vineyard that gives the Cava its name and MIM Natura Blanc de Noirs by Vins El Cep in the Can Prats estate, Espiells. At the same time, the Vallcirera estate of Art Laietà d’Alta Alella has been expanded. Cavas de Paraje Calificado represent the highest distinction within D.O. CAVA. They must meet strict requirements, including vineyards over 10 years old, manual harvesting, limited yields, a minimum ageing period of 36 months, vintage Cavas, vinification in the state and reinforced full traceability. This guarantees an especially rigorous and difficult-to-achieve level of excellence, quality, and authenticity. Paraje Calificado Cavas are synonymous with high quality and singularity — long-aged Cavas, unique products with their own personality, delicate and truly special 🔗Link: cava.wine/en/news-articl… #DOCava #ParajeCalificado #Cava #SpanishWine #WineIndustry

During winter, Cava vineyards enter their period of dormancy, an essential stage in which the vines pause their growth to conserve energy and regenerate. This natural rest allows them to strengthen and prepare for the new cycle that will arrive with spring. This phase ensures the health of the vines and lays the foundations for the quality, complexity, and character that will define the next harvest. 🥂 . . . #docava #vineyards #cavavineyards #harvest

Through the traditional method, we ensure that Cava develops its unique characteristics. The second fermentation in the bottle is the essence of this process and the key to what makes it truly distinctive. A method that has endured over time and continues to be the cornerstone of our identity at D.O. Cava. Thanks to it, we achieve the finesse of the bubbles, the complexity of aromas and the elegance that define it. More than a process, it is a way of understanding viticulture: with dedication, precision and deep respect for tradition. 🤝🍾 #DOCava #TraditionalMethod #Cava #Tradition #Quality
