Freixenet Cava Semi Seco Ice Cuvee

Introduction

This wine has fine bubbles combined with a nose of peaches, ripe pears, flowers and nuances of tropical fruits. The palate is creamy yet sweet with a long finish. Producer Information Friexenet is a large Spanish producer based in Peneds famed for making Cava, with more than a century of history. It is owned and run by the Ferrer family, who have 16 wine labels in major winemaking regions all over the world. Freixenet’s history began in 1861 when Francesc Sala Ferrs began making wine and exporting significant quantities to countries in the mainly Spanish-speaking countries of North and South America. In 1889, the winery began to shift its production from still wines to sparkling and, in 1914, Freixenet officially took form. Exports were a feature of the winery’s operations early on and, by the 1930s, an office had been established in the United States. Freixenet now makes over 1.5 million cases annually and exports to 100 countries. The label exclusively makes sparkling wine with the majority being from the classic Cava trio of Macebeo, Xarel-lo and Parellada. Cordon Negro is the flagship wine and is bottled in now famously recognizable frosted black glass. Many of the wines are offered in multiple degrees of sweetness.
