Crafted by the historic house of Freixenet in Sant Sadurní d'Anoia, the heart of Spain's Cava country, Cordon Rosado Seleccion is a vibrant celebration of Catalan sparkling wine heritage. Freixenet's roots date back to 1861, born from the union of two deeply established winemaking families, the Ferrers and the Salas. This expressive rosé Cava is traditionally crafted using the Metodo Tradicional, undergoing its secondary fermentation in the bottle. It showcases a classic blend of native Trepat and Garnacha grapes. Trepat, a rare grape indigenous to northeastern Spain, imparts a delicate, bright red-berry character and elegant acidity, while Garnacha adds body, warmth, and ripe strawberry notes. The wine's striking presentation in its signature frosted bottle mirrors the lively, fruit-forward, and crisp style that has made Freixenet a global ambassador for Spanish sparkling wine.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Established in 1914 following the marriage of Pedro Ferrer Bosch and Dolores Sala Vivé, Freixenet traces its winemaking roots back to the 1861 founding of Casa Sala in Sant Sadurní d'Anoia, Spain. Located in the heart of the Penedès region in Catalonia, the house pioneered the production of Spanish sparkling wine using the traditional method, utilizing classic indigenous grape varieties like Macabeo, Xarel·lo, and Parellada. Freixenet is globally renowned for its iconic expressions, most notably the black-bottled Cordon Negro launched in 1974, alongside the prestigious Casa Sala Gran Reserva and the elegant Elyssia range. Today, the winery remains a symbol of Catalan sparkling wine heritage, blending centuries-old craftsmanship with modern innovation to define the global standard for Cava.
