Discover the best wines made with Airen as a single variety or as a blend of Cava.
Simple, refreshing whites with a pale robe and a tender mouth, featuring discreet aromas of apple, citrus, fresh herbs and neutral notes. Moderate acidity, best drunk young. Very productive and drought-resistant, it produces easy-drinking whites in La Mancha DO and Valdepeñas DO on the Castilian plateau, and has historically supplied the base for Brandy de Jerez distillation. Native Spanish grape, long the world's most planted by surface area.
Spain's star traditional-method sparkler, the Iberian equivalent of Champagne. Three Catalan grapes blended: Macabeo (apple, freshness), Xarel-lo (body and herbaceous notes), Parellada (elegance and floral finesse). Chardonnay and Pinot Noir also allowed. From fruit-driven Brut to Gran Reserva (30 months on lees) with brioche and toasted notes.
