Vivino score 4.1 (April 2025)

Castell de Sant Pau is located in the hills of Alt Penedès and proves that great cava doesn’t need any fuss – just classic grapes, traditional methods, and a sharp sense of freshness.

This wine has quietly built a strong reputation and is made using the same method as champagne, with a second fermentation in the bottle. The result is a cava with character at a price that doesn’t require you to wait for a special occasion.

A must for anyone who loves bubbles.
