Other important areas include Rioja and Navarra.<\/li>\n<li>A considerable <strong>majority of Cava is dry<\/strong>, produced to at least a Brut style, if not drier again &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.invinic.com\/en\/how-food-friendly-is-brut-nature-cava\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Brut Nature Cava<\/a> is increasingly popular, for example!<\/li>\n<li>The key white <strong>grape varieties for Cava are Macabeo<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.invinic.com\/en\/when-should-you-drink-rioja-blanco\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Rioja Blanco<\/a>&#8216;s Viura), Xarel.lo and Parellada, while ros\u00e9 Cava uses Garnacha and Monastrell. In addition to these <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.invinic.com\/en\/making-sense-of-spanish-wine-one-grape-at-a-time\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Spanish grape varieties<\/a>, there are a number of international grapes permitted &#8211; notably Pinot Noir, <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.invinic.com\/en\/chardonnay-is-a-lot-more-versatile-than-you-think\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Chardonnay<\/a> and Cabernet Sauvignon.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cava is made using the <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.invinic.com\/en\/making-champagne-and-why-you-should-leave-it-to-the-experts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">traditional method<\/a><\/strong>, like <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.invinic.com\/en\/gosset-champagne-is-the-oldest-house-in-ay-but-is-it-the-best\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Champagne<\/a> and French\u00a0<em>Cr\u00e9mant<\/em> wines.<\/li>\n<li>Conveniently, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.invinic.com\/en\/why-are-cava-prices-so-much-lower-than-champagne\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cava prices<\/a> tend to be on the modest side<\/strong>, particularly when compared with Champagne.
