Why you’ll love it?

In many ways, Spanish cava has a unique character. While produced using the methode champenoise, it is usually made from indigenous varietals, instead of the usual Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier blend of Champagne. Thus, while it has some characteristics in common with Champagne, it also has its own unique character. Canals & Munne is a special cava house located in Sant Sadurní d’Anoia, it retains a distinct Catalunya character, but its wines are Champagne-like in their richness, mouthfeel and flavours.
