Freixenet Carta Nevada Cava

Freixenet Carta Nevada is a world-renowned Spanish Cava, a sparkling wine produced using the traditional method. The brand's history dates back to 1861 when Francesc Sala Ferrés founded Casa Sala in Sant Sadurní d'Anoia. The Freixenet name emerged following the marriage of Pedro Ferrer and Dolores Sala Vivé in the early 20th century.

Freixenet is produced in the Penedès region of Catalonia, Spain, where the local climate and specific grape varieties like Macabeo, Xarel·lo, and Parellada provide its distinctive character. The brand remained family-owned for generations until a significant shift in 2018 when the German sparkling wine giant Henkell (the sparkling wine division of the Dr. Oetker Group) acquired a majority stake. This led to the formation of Henkell Freixenet, creating one of the largest sparkling wine companies globally. The brand continues to be headquartered in Spain, representing the pinnacle of Spanish sparkling wine production under the corporate umbrella of the German-based Henkell Freixenet group.
