Crisp and dry, with green apple, lemon, pear, almond, and light bready notes. The bubbles are energetic and the finish is refreshing rather than heavy.
Penedès, Catalonia, Spain
Cava's traditional heartland in Penedès combines Mediterranean warmth with elevation and limestone-influenced soils. Freixenet Cordon Negro is a globally recognizable expression of crisp Spanish sparkling wine.
Macabeo, Xarel·lo, and Parellada
Macabeo gives gentle apple and floral notes, Xarel·lo adds body and herbal-mineral structure, and Parellada contributes citrus lift and delicacy.
Cava is made by the traditional method, with secondary fermentation in bottle creating bubbles and light lees complexity. Stainless steel base wines preserve freshness before tirage and bottle aging.
Green apple, lemon, pear, almond, white flowers, and a touch of fresh bread create a clean, lively sparkling profile.
Its black bottle has made Cordon Negro one of the most recognizable Cava labels in the world.
