Selling cheap Spanish Cava is not doing anything good
for all the great producers in the DO CAVA and I understand the frustration
among the high quality producers whose aim is to on top of the bubbly world.
One of the leading producers Raventos who started the
uprising among the producers says that he wants the cava to change its appellation
guidelines to favour quality, but my question are, is his cava great and of
best quality? I do not thing so.
The new name would be Conca Del Rui Anoia and forms a
very small area in Penedes, will you remember this name?
All the new ideas is not bad at all and one of the
things is To increase the period on the lees from today’s 9 months to minimum
18 months is great and well needed for better result.
To lower the yield and to set this to 10 000 kg
/ha is good but why not keep the chardonnay and pinot noir as a grape
varieties? This I do not get.
I wish Mr Albet who is the current chairman of the DO Penedes
the best of luck to solve this issue.
If you want good Cava you should try Cavas Torello (do
not confuse it with Agusti Torello)
Recaredo all the wines, some of Gramona top wines and
also Castell D`Age who make fantastic cava.
