Sparkling Wine Spain

Sparkling wine from Spain is typically known as Cava, and it's a popular choice in many restaurants in the USA. Here are a few things you might want to know about Cava:

1. Cava is a type of sparkling wine produced in Spain, primarily in the Penedès region.

2. It's made from the Xarello, Macabeo, and Parellada grapes, which are native to Spain.

3. Cava is known for its crisp acidity and fruity flavors, with notes of apple, pear, and citrus.

4. Cava is typically produced using the traditional method, where the second fermentation takes place in the bottle, resulting in a sediment that is later removed by riddling and disgorging.

5. Cava is available in a range of styles, from Brut (dry) to Brut Nature (very dry) and even some sweet styles.

6. Cava is often served as an apéritif or with seafood, tapas, and other Spanish dishes.

7. Some popular brands of Cava include Freixenet, Codorniu, and Segura Viudas.

When ordering Cava in a restaurant, you may see it listed by its name, or it may be referred to as "Spanish sparkling wine." If you're looking for a specific brand, you can ask your server for recommendations or check the wine list for options.
