Long-aged cava · Sant Sadurní d’Anoia · since 1898
El cavade criança
One of the smallest cava houses: about 20,000 bottles a year, made by Pere and Guifré, father and son. Visits, tastings and a passion for cava.
What time does inside a bottle.
Our cavas rest between 2 and 5 years before they leave the cellar. Come down and watch what happens, month by month.
- Month 0
Tirage
The base wine goes into the bottle with the yeast and is capped. The second fermentation begins, the one inside the bottle: this is where the bubbles are born.
- 9 months
Guarda
The minimum the Cava D.O. asks of any cava. The lees, the yeast that did the work, rest along the side of the bottle. We are only getting started.
- 18 months
Reserva
Second year in the cellar. Our Reservas arrive here.
- 20 and 26 months
Coup de poignet
Profund gets a “coup de poignet” at 20 and 26 months: a flick of the wrist that stirs the lees back into the wine.
- 30 months
Gran Reserva
Third year. The Gran Reserva line, home to De la Gafa, Sola II and Maria Roig, the crown jewel.
- 33 months
Profund
Profund’s minimum ageing: 33 months. Just 133 magnums of rosé from the 2022 harvest.
- 44 months
Tremendo
Tremendo is not released before 44 months, with coups de poignet at 30 and 36. Between 2 and 5 years: that is our time.
- Ready
Neck down
When the time comes, the bottle is turned neck down and, little by little, the lees slide into the neck.
- Disgorging
Now it’s ready
The neck is frozen, the bottle turned upright and opened: the plug of lees shoots out. Then cork, capsule and label. The label shows the disgorging date: we recommend drinking it within a year.
Seven cavas. All long-aged, all organic.
From the fresh second-year Reserva to Tremendo, which is not released before 44 months. Each with its own colour, taste and dish.

One family, four dates.
Solà Raventós is already making and ageing wine on the Maset de la Verdera estate.
The first bottles of cava are made.
It becomes Pere’s own project: with his wife he makes real the dream of making cava the way they understand and love it.
Their son, Guifré, joins them.
About 20,000 bottles a year, in the building where it all began. A micro-production of two people.
“Cannot recommend this place highly enough! Family run and the owners are so hospitable and made us feel very welcome. The cava is delicious and reasonably priced. Please come and experience it for yourself. A great way to experience Sant Sadurní D'Anoia!”
