POP THE CAVA THIS FESTIVE SEASON AND CELEBRATE THE SPANISH WAY WITH LOVED ONES

I am known for my love of Prosecco, but I decided to cross over to the Spanish side and discover the taste of Cava.

An elegant and well-balanced sparkling wine, perfect for celebrating all of life’s special moments and coming together loved ones at Christmas. Campo Viejo has been producing this sophisticated Cava Brut Reserva for more than 20 years with carefully selected parcels of Xarello, Parellada and Macabeo grapes from the Penedès area, aged as a Brut Reserva for 18 months.

Start Christmas right with an indulgent breakfast of smoked salmon and scrambled eggs, paired beautifully with a glass of Cava, which balances out the rich, runny texture of the eggs.

The perfect wine to serve when… you want to get the festivities of the day started right and toast another great year with family and friends.

The perfect Christmas gift for…that person who swears that Champagne is the only way. Cava is made is made with the methode traditionelle, the same technique for Champagne creation and the most respected method for quality sparkling wine.

Why not try out these cocktails as something different to try over the festive season.

For those inclined to something a bit sweet with a bit of class the White Christmas - Add a puff of white candy floss and a dot of edible gold to glasses of Cava Brut Reserva for a luxurious way to celebrate this Christmas

For the cutely named Rosy Cheeks, add fresh rose petals and a slice of thinly cut lemon to your Cava for a subtly sweet treat this party season

To try the Thyme to Celebrate, add two peach slices and a sprig of thyme for an aromatic take on your fizz this festive season. For those who appreciate rustic flavours with a dose of sharp tang. A combination not for the fainthearted.

Finally you must try the Very Merry Berry - Take a sprig of rosemary and a handful of pomegranate seeds and add to flute glasses of Cava for a fresh and fruity way to celebrate this Christmas.This one was my absolute favourite. Subtle earthy aroma flavour from the thyme and the little bursts of pomegranate sweetness as you drink made this one a real hit!
