Anna de Codorníu Blanc de Blancs Brut Cava
Cava DO – Sant Sadurní d’Anoia, Spain 🇪🇸

Overview
Produced by Codorníu — Spain’s oldest winery, founded in 1551 — this Blanc de Blancs Cava is a beautifully executed traditional method sparkling wine that consistently overdelivers for the price. A blend of 70% Chardonnay, 15% Parellada, 7.5% Xarel·lo, and 5.5% Macabeu, creating a style that feels both modern and rooted in Catalan sparkling wine tradition.

Aromas & Flavors
Fresh citrus, green apple, pear skin, and white peach lead the profile, followed by delicate floral nuances and subtle brioche hints. The Chardonnay brings elegance and roundness, while the native varieties contribute freshness, lift, and Mediterranean character.

Mouthfeel
Very delicate mousse with fine persistent bubbles. Light to medium-bodied, beautifully balanced, and impressively polished for its category. The finish is clean, refreshing, and surprisingly refined.

Food Pairings
Excellent as an aperitif, but versatile enough for seafood tapas, sushi, jamón ibérico, fried calamari, soft cheeses, or even lighter creamy dishes.

Verdict
One of the better value-driven Cavas in the market. Elegant, balanced, and crafted with precision, this is the type of sparkling wine that can genuinely surprise experienced wine drinkers during a blind tasting.

Did You Know?
Codorníu is widely recognized as one of the founding houses of modern Cava production and helped elevate traditional method sparkling wine in Spain centuries before Cava became globally recognized.

🍷 Personal Pick
A fantastic example of how affordable sparkling wine does not need to feel simple. The Chardonnay gives it a polished international touch while the native grapes preserve its unmistakable Spanish soul. Cheers! — 3 days ago

We opened this beautiful Cava, the 2020 Ravantós i Blanc Conca del Riu Anoia Extra Brut Cava Rose. From Catalonia Sant Sadurni D'Anoia, Spain. A blend of 44% Xarel-lo, 39% Macabeo, 12% Parellada and 5% Monastrell.

On the nose is strawberry, lemon, white peach, lime peel, almond and a bit of minerality.

On the palate there is strawberry, citrus, lemon, lime peel, tarragon, hazelnut, yellow apple and minerality.

This wine is medium bodied with an onion skin color with a bone dry mouthfeel medium + to high acidity that leaves us with a long fresh citrus wet rock finish. At $23 you can't go wrong. This will hang with the best sparkling wines. I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend please stay safe and healthy heading into this week ahead. Nostrovia! 🥂🥂🥂🥂 — 3 years ago
