Refined, Aged Cava with Champagne Soul

‘Seven Years of Patience, Precision, and Pedigree

Aged an incredible seven years on the lees, this is serious sparkling wine—crafted with patience, precision, and pedigree. ‘Gelida’ is the flagship bottling from one of Cava’s most respected producers, Vins el Cep, a biodynamically farmed estate with roots going back to the 15th century. This Gran Reserva is made only in select vintages and showcases the full potential of traditional-method Cava at its finest.

Creamy mousse, layered complexity, and deep toasty aromas you’d expect from Champagne houses charging three times the price. Think brioche, roasted nuts, citrus oil, and chalky minerality, all lifted by a bone-dry finish and fine bubbles. It's structured enough for food, yet elegant enough to serve on its own—and it absolutely overdelivers for the price.

I’m always on the hunt for true Champagne alternatives, and this is one of the best values I’ve tasted in years. For those like myself with Champagne wishes but a Prosecco budget, this is a can’t-miss choice.

94 Points, Wine Enthusiast
"This Cava is almost clear to the eye, has a diffuse column of bubbles and a nose of Gala apple and jasmine. It feels full in the mouth with bold effervescence on the palate. Brioche, lemon zest, green apple and toasted-nut flavors evaporate into a soft vanilla and citrus-blossom finish."
