Freixenets history goes back to the mid 1800s when Fransec Sala Ferres began making wines and exporting to America, but it was his daughter Dolores that transitioned the family estate to sparkling Cava production and began the empire that Freixenet is today. Now run by the fifth generation, Freixenet is sold all over the world. The Freixenet Cordon Negro is their flagship, containing traditional Cava varieties Parellada, Macabeo, and Xarel-lo thats aged between ten and fourteen moths. Its made in Brut, Dry and Medium Dry styles that increase in fruitiness and subtle respectively.Enjoy the drier versions with crispy and salty snacks or other foods, and the richer versions with Asian cuisine or spicier dishes. Cheeses like aged manchego really hit the mark as well.
