Freixenet Cordon Negro Brut Cava

If you love sparkling wine Freixenet Cava sparkling wine comes in an iconic and unforgettable black frosted bottle (available in 350ml, 750ml and 1500ml).

What started as a love story in Spain in 1889 with the marriage of Pedro Ferrer and Dolores Sala Vivé, heiress to the Sala wine emporium turned into a wine empire. The couple was completely complementary to each other with Dolores’s in-depth knowledge of winemaking, combined with Pedro’s vision and entrepreneurship.

These two love birds made the bold decision to turn from still winemaking to the complexity of producing Traditional Method Cava sparkling wine. Pedro grew up in a vineyard called La Freixeneda or ‘Ash tree grove’ in Catalan and, as a result, he was nicknamed ‘el Freixenet’. Little did they know this nickname would just a century later be known all over the world. Making Freixenet taste even better the family made a number of breakthroughs that improved the quality of the sparkling wine. They were the first company in Spain to press grapes pneumatically, the first to use refrigerated tanks to control fermentation and are one of the leaders in developing their own yeast.

In the 1970s the sparkling Cava, Cordon Negro, was launched in a sleek and memorable black frosted bottle. This fresh and fruity sparkler quickly became the world’s biggest-selling Cava – what a love story!

Brotte La Fiole CdRhone

A lovable blend of Grenach and Syrah, this bottle is truly unforgettable. La Fiole du Pape is the best selling Châteauneuf-du-Pape in the world and once you’ve seen the bottle you can’t forget it.

Created in 1952 by Charles Brotte with the co-operation of local Provençale glass and ceramic craftsmen, this very original and bottle shape represents the gnarled and twisted vines typical of the region due to their struggle of growing against the Mistral wind in the south of France. La Fiole, “Phiala” in latin refers to a “precious bottle”. The bottle is exclusive to the winery as they are the only winery permitted to use this shape. “Pape” evokes the cru of Châteauneuf-du-Pape as well as the presence of the Popes in the region and village that occupied the area in the Middle Ages – and who also of course made wine.

The bottle’s golden anthracite, grey powder, or dusty bottle look recalls wines of an older time, ones that have aged and stood the test of time. These grapes from the south of France (Grenache and Syrah) are hand-harvested and if you love fresh and juicy red wines, this is one you’ll quite enjoy, the grapes have been berry sorted and aged in large old barrels for an easy going, yet delicious red wine.

Just remember no other wines come in that bottle except wines from Chianti.
