Cava

[paul mitchell]

I keep reading in posts about people drinking a Cava. Is it some sort of champagne named Cava for the region it's made?

Thanks

Cava is a sparkling wine from Spain. Some are made in a bulk manner some with a bottle secondary fermentation. Usually very reasonably priced

Cava is the legal designation in Spain for sparking wines made only from the classic champagne method. They may not use the term on charmat/bulk fermented wines. The quality can range from barely drinkable to excellent.

Here is a good short definition.
