About Cava DO

Where it grows

Across authorised Spanish production areas; much of the Catalan heartland is in the Comtats de Barcelona zone.

Cava DO is a multi-regional protected origin, so every Cava should not be assumed to come from Penedès. White wines often combine Macabeu, Xarel·lo and Parellada, while rosé versions use permitted red grapes. A second fermentation in bottle creates the bubbles, followed by ageing on the lees. Category, ageing and sweetness terms help explain the finished style: Brut Nature and Brut indicate different sugar levels. The named zone and producer offer a closer geographical view than the broad Cava name alone.
