✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 About the Producer
With roots reaching back to 1861 and officially established under its famous moniker in 1914, Freixenet was forged by the union of Pedro Ferrer Bosch and Dolores Sala Vivé in Sant Sadurní d'Anoia, the historic heart of Catalonia's sparkling wine region. Guided by Dolores's pioneering spirit in modern cellar management and traditional-method production, the house quickly evolved from a local family bodega into a benchmark global sparkling wine giant. Emphasizing regional terroir, Freixenet masterfully champions indigenous Catalan grape varieties—Macabeo, Xarel·lo, and Parellada—across its portfolio. The estate is globally celebrated for its crisp, balanced, and approachable sparklers, anchored by iconic cuvées such as the frosted-bottle Cordón Negro, the versatile Carta Nevada, and the prestige, traditionally crafted Casa Sala Gran Reserva.
