...During the trip on the Freixenet factory our guide has given us a lot of useful information such as some facts about Spanish Cava and how it is made. Actually, it is interesting that according to Spanish law, cava may be produced in eight wine regions: Aragon, the Basque Country, Castile and León, Catalonia, Extremadura, Navarra, Rioja or the Valencian Community. Freixenet is produced only in Catalonia. Like Champagne, Cava is produced in varying levels of sweetness, ranging from the dryest, brut nature, through brut, brut reserve, sec (seco), semisec (semiseco), to dolsec (dulce), the sweetest. Sparkling wines are made under the traditional method, or méthode Champenoise. With this method the effervescence is produced by secondary fermentation. After primary fermentation, blending and bottling, a second alcoholic fermentation occurs in the bottle. As the name suggests, this is used for the production of Champagne, but is slightly more expensive than the Charmat process. The “Méthode Champenoise” involves allowing the wine to continue fermenting in the bottle for a period of time (months to years). The bottles are slanted down, so the yeasts eventually settled in the neck of the bottle. When the wine is ready, the bottles are kept in this position with the yeasts at the neck. Through several different processes, the neck of the bottle is frozen (only a few inches of the wine inside at the neck which contains the yeast). Then, with the yeasts trapped in a short plug...

Production and marketing professionals from eight wineries hosted our student group and provided facility tours and insights on production, marketing, and exporting. This paper focuses on Northern Spain’s wine industry’s legal regulations, tourism, stewardship, communications, and exports through the lens of wine business marketing. The paper concludes with marketing recommendations relevant to new world (USA, Canada, and Australia) markets. History First, a brief introduction to Spain’s wine history is provided to differentiate Spain from its global competitors and set the context for further analysis. As an “old world” wine culture, Spain has a rich wine history beginning with Phoenician tribes and industrious Romans. Unfortunately, Spain’s nascent wine industry was disrupted due to Islamic rule followed by civil and global wars. In the late 1800’s, French winemakers revolutionized Spain’s weak wine industry. France’s Phylloxera tragedy brought an exodus of French winemakers over the Pyrenees seeking work. By the time Phylloxera reached Spain, viticulturists where already grafting native vines onto American...
