✨ Technical Specifications
Named in honor of Anna de Codorniu, the last heir of the family dynasty who married Miquel Raventos in 1659, this Cava represents a historic milestone. Introduced in 1984, it was the very first Cava to incorporate Chardonnay into its blend, forever transforming the region's sparkling identity. Crafted using the traditional method, the Chardonnay grapes are sourced from the continental climate of Lleida, which imparts rich tropical fruit notes and structure, while the classic Catalan trio of Macabeo, Xarel-lo, and Parellada from the Penedes region provides freshness, citrus aromas, and floral complexity. Aged on its lees for a minimum of 15 months, this Reserva cuvee strikes a beautiful balance between vibrant, youthful fruit and the delicate, yeasty complexity of brioche.
🍾 About the Producer
With winemaking roots dating back to 1551, Codorníu is Spain's oldest family-owned enterprise and a founding pillar of the Cava denomination. Located in Sant Sadurní d'Anoia in the heart of Catalonia's Penedès region, the house made viticultural history in 1872 when Josep Raventós Fatjó crafted Spain's very first traditional-method sparkling wine. Operating from historic modernist cellars designated as a National Historic-Artistic Monument, Codorníu marries centuries-old tradition with continuous innovation, having pioneered the integration of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir alongside indigenous Macabeo, Xarel·lo, and Parellada grapes. Renowned worldwide for signature labels like Anna de Codorníu and the prestigious Ars Collecta collection, the estate remains committed to producing elegant, terroir-driven sparkling wines that reflect the rich diversity of northeastern Spain.
