Types of Cava – According to sugar levels
Among Cava, there are different classification methods. One of the classification method is basing on the sugar levels. The sugar level is defined by the dosage or expedition liqueur, which determines the final type of Cava. This liqueur is added to compensate for the loss of content in the bottle after the disgorging process, and is usually a mixture of base wine and sugar, although there are many possibilities.There are seven different types of Cava depending on the amount of sugar added, although note that not adding sugar is also a possibility. These various types, from driest to sweet, further enhance the versatility of this sparkling wine and its possibilities for pairing with food. And Cava Brut Nature is one of the types.
Cava Brut Nature
Cava Brut Nature is the driest Cava: sugar cannot be added, and it can have up to a maximum of 3 grams of (natural) sugar per litre. Cava in its purest state is possible thanks to the ideal conditions provided by the Mediterranean climate, whereby Cava producers can always rely on using grapes at the optimum point of ripeness. This makes the addition of sugar more a question of style than something necessary to add balance.
