Your host: Cana Michiels
With Cana Michiels, we have one of the most exciting voices on the Spanish sparkling wine scene as our guest. She lives in Barcelona and is right in the middle of the action. Right at the source, she works side by side with the winemakers who are just redefining Spanish sparkling wine.
Cana explains clearly, passionately and with a great deal of expertise:
• What really makes Cava, Corpinnat, Clàssic Penedès & Co. different?
• Why is everyone talking about terroir today?
• And why do some of the most exciting sparkling wines in the world come from Spain right now?

A brief look backwards — and forwards
The roots of Spanish sparkling wine lie in Penedès, more specifically in Sant Sadurní d'Anoia, the historic cava capital. The first bottles were filled here in 1872 — using traditional methods in a very classic way.
Price war, monoculture and industrial production have led many producers to rethink in recent years. The answer: quality rather than quantity.
New movements and designations of origin rely on:
• biological & biodynamic management
• old grape varieties
• long yeast stores
• genuine handwork
• Responsibility for the environment & people
The result? Sparkling wines with character, depth and poise.
⸻
The masterclass
In three enjoyable hours, we'll take you on a thrilling journey through:
• History & present of Spanish sparkling wine
• the most important regions & producers
• Grape varieties & vinification
• new classifications & exciting alternatives to D.O. Cava

Compact, understandable, entertaining — and guaranteed not to be dry (except in a glass).
