A dynamic Cava made from a family bodega whose origins go back to 1790. Today, the winemakers, both women, are engaged in viticultural practices that respect the earth all the while making classic bubbles that are most accessible. Cava is always made with two fermentations, a laborious yet inimitable means of creating a stellar bottle.

Staff Pick Notes

When I am in need of a delicious yet value driven sparkling wine, my go to bottle for a variety of reasons is the Savia Viva Cava. Not only is it made like Champagne, with a delicate toastiness coming from the extended aging with the yeast, but there is a brightness and texture to this wine that is difficult to beat at its price. It is the perfect compliment for mimosas and to serve as your house sparkling for parties and receptions. The farming is fully organic, which is another star on the checklist, and their talented two women winemaking team (Maria Elena Jiménez & Marta Casas) have been at the helm for over two decades. Overall, this bottle is one of the most personable bubblies here at Astor and you can absolutely taste the care that went into its creation!

More About This Wine

Spain

Central to the Spanish winemaking philosophy is the belief that wine should be released only when it is ready to be consumed, and not a moment before. Spanish wine law focuses squarely on this issue: the terms Crianza, Reserva and Gran Reserva are highly regulated indicators of the amount of time a wine has aged prior to its release. In Rioja, Navarra, and the Ribera del Duero (which have the most stringent requirements) red Crianzas must be aged a minimum of two years; Reservas, at least three...

Cava

Dry, delicious Cava is an excellent Champagne alternative. The best examples are aged on the lees (the spent yeast cells used in fermentation) and show complexity to rival that of the best Champagnes.

Xarel-lo

Growing primarily in the northeastern region of Catalonia, Xarel-lo is most famous for its role in the production of the Spanish sparkling wine known as Cava (along with Macabeo and Parellada). Xarel-lo is occasionally bottled on its own as a deliciously crisp still wine, frequently filled with notes of stone fruits and herbs.

Parellada

Along with Macabeo and Xarel-lo, this is one of the three grapes that make up the traditional Cava blend. Occasionally blended with better-known varieties (e.g. Sauvignon Blanc) in delightful still whites, Parellada yields light and firmly acidic wines with pleasing floral aromas.
