CVNE’s foray into sparkling wine lives through Roger Goulart — a historic Catalan Cava house now part of CVNE. Founded in 1882 in Sant Esteve Sesrovires, Roger Goulart was one of Spain’s pioneers in producing sparkling wines by the traditional method. The wines are crafted from the classic Cava grape varieties (Xarel-lo, Macabeo, and Parellada), all grown in vineyards in Penedès. After the base wine is made, the second fermentation and aging happen deep underground — in a network of caves 30 meters below ground — where temperature and humidity remain constant, creating ideal conditions for slow, careful development. As a result, Roger Goulart Cavas tend to be long-aged, think fine bubbles, balanced acidity, and layers of yeast-derived richness alongside fruit, citrus or subtle brioche and pastry notes. With just a touch of sweetness on the palate, this is an easy-drinking, fun and fresh style of Cava.
