Raventos Codorniu 1872 Vintage Cava

Raventós Codorníu is the oldest winegrowing business in Spain and one of the oldest of the world, in addition to being the creator of cava. With vineyards in our property since 1551, they are proud to say that they have more than 450 years of experience in the manufacture of quality wines and cavas. In 1872, Josep Raventós Fatjó produced the first bottle of cava by applying the traditional method to a combination of the grape varieties used for Penedès wines: the Macabeo, the Xarel·lo, and the Parellada. Since that first innovation 150 years ago, Codorníu has been developing cavas that it exports to half the world in its facilities at Sant Sadurní d’Anoia – wine cellars classified as a National Historic and Artistic Monument in 1976, the work of the architect Puig i Cadafalch.
