There is also the added appeal of price, as Cava is invariably less expensive than Champagne. Or so I thought before I was introduced a few weeks ago to a producer that has considerably changed my perception of the quality of wines Cava can produce. Bodegas Gramona produces a range of wines that, at their best, are reminiscent of those sparkling wines produced in the rippled valleys between Epernay and Reims. But before we discuss the delights of Gramona, it is worth looking at where and how Cava is made.
