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.
