Freixenet
Freixenet is a renowned Spanish company known for its production of Cava, a type of sparkling wine. The company was established in 1861 and is headquartered in Sant Sadurní d'Anoia, Catalonia, Spain.
History[edit | edit source]
The history of Freixenet dates back to 1861 when the company was founded by Pedro Ferrer Bosch. The company's name, Freixenet, is derived from La Freixeneda, the family estate of Ferrer's wife, Dolores Sala Vivé. The estate's name translates to "ash tree grove" in Catalan.
Production[edit | edit source]
Freixenet is best known for its Cava, a sparkling wine produced in the traditional method. The company uses a blend of three grape varieties: Macabeo, Parellada, and Xarel·lo. The wine is aged in the bottle for a minimum of 9 months, resulting in a crisp, refreshing taste with fine bubbles.
Global Presence[edit | edit source]
Freixenet has a significant global presence, exporting its products to over 150 countries. The company has also expanded its operations to other wine-producing regions, including Champagne, France and Sonoma County, California, USA.
