Codorniu Brut, a faithful reflection of the first cava created by Codorníu in 1872 which still maintains its original blend of the three traditional cava grape varieties: Macabeo, Xarel.lo and Parellada. Like Champagne, Cava is made according to the Traditional Method. The second fermentation, to produce bubbles and the unique flavour, takes place in this bottle. A fresh, crisp and elegant sparkling wine with attractive flavours of citrus and apple with fine, persistent bubbles.

History
The history of Codorníu is the story of 18 generations of a vine growing family. In 1872, Josep Raventós made the first bottle of cava, applying the traditional method to a blend of the grape varieties of Penedès: Macabeo, Xarel·lo and Parellada. Codorníu reflects the history, tradition, passion and expertise of a family winery with more than 450 years of history, which today continues to maintain its leading position in the production of quality wines and cavas.
Regional Information
The grapes used in making Codorníu 1872 Brut come from Penedés, the most Mediterranean from D.O. Cava region where these local varietals attain their full typicity. They are grown on vine plots selected by our viticulture and winemaking teams throughout the year in order to continuously improve crops, monitor ripeness and determine the right moments for harvesting so that the grapes enter our winery in optimum condition, once they have been carefully and rapidly transported.

Vinification Details
The grapes are destemmed and crushed to obtain the musts which ferment at a temperature between 15º and 17ºC. The wines fromthe different varietals are then blended and the resulting wine is bottled with the liqueur de tirage. The bottles undergo the secondfermentation followed by a period of aging in contact with the lees of the yeasts in our underground cellars at a constant temperature for at least 9 months.
