Description
What kind of wine it is
Grapus Cava Brut is a Spanish sparkling wine created from a meticulous blend of Macabeo, Parellada and Xarel·lo grapes. In the glass, it displays a bright straw yellow colour with golden highlights, heralding a harmonious aromatic profile. On the nose, pleasant fruity notes emerge, interwoven with more complex nuances. The palate is fresh and balanced, supported by a vibrant acidity and remarkable persistence. A fine and persistent perlage enlivens the Brut style of this wine, which is characterised by its organic, vegan and sustainable approach.
Where it comes from
This sparkling wine is born in Catalonia, at the heart of the renowned Cava region. The identity of the land is faithfully expressed through the native varieties, historically cultivated for sparkling wine production in this part of Spain. Its Catalan origin ensures a wine focused on freshness, elegance and great precision of flavour. Production is overseen by Covides, a winery that values agricultural work through a rigorous sustainable approach. Every stage of production aims to preserve the natural vitality of the fruit, delivering a pure expression of its roots.
How it is produced
The sparkling process of Grapus Cava Brut follows the principles of the Traditional Method. The secondary fermentation takes place in the bottle, followed by careful ageing on the lees. This technical choice encourages a fine perlage and the development of the evolved aromas typical of cellar ageing. The balance between the fruity component and the complex structure makes it perfect for accompanying delicate aperitifs or cheese boards. The freshness on the palate enhances rice dishes, seafood and white fish, demonstrating remarkable versatility at the table.

The target of Covides was the creation of a cooperative that would give way to the production and that would add value to the grape harvest through the elaboration and the trading of the wine.
The Cooperative’s formula not only allowed to give way to the production of grapes but made it’s members automatically responsible for its management.
In just one year, the Covides Cooperative became a social reality. Read more
