Spain Cava DO

Although most cava production occurs in the Penedès (a DO on itself, also producing still wines), with the village of Sant Sadurní d'Anoia known as the cava capital, Cava is also produced in other specifically delimeted areas of Spain. The main grape varieties in the production of cava are Macabeo, Xarel·lo and Parellada, while the use of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir is recently increasing. Subirat Parent (Malvasia) is also used for white cava. Garnacha, Monastrell and Trepat are used in the production of rose cava.
