"Stylish Spanish Cava - a masterclass in elegance and finesse"
4 STARS: Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
"You can see why Spanish methode traditionnelles (cava) are so popular around the world. It's charming and sleek with subtle citrus and floral characters on the nose. The palate is fine and delicate showing bright acidity and a lovely refreshing finish". Aug 2010. Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
Freixenet (pronounced Fresh - a - net) was founded by Pedro Ferrer in 1889 and is the largest producer of sparkling wine in the world. At the same time Freixenet are the leaders in the field of Cava production. Cava is the Latin name for cave and this is where the sparkling wines from Freixenet mature. There are over 150 million bottles of Freixenet maturing in 20km of Limestone caves in Penedes near Barcelona. High quality, but much less expensive than Champagne, Freixenet is produced in the same painstaking manner. Just like French Champagne all the grapes are handpicked and gently pressed to produce a high quality, delicious sparkling wine.
