This recognition highlights the dedication, expertise, and commitment of our winegrowers and technical teams, as well as the exceptional quality of the grapes grown in our region.”

The competition is currently organized into four separate sessions, each dedicated to the professional evaluation of a specific wine category. Assessments are carried out by specialized experts selected for their knowledge and their ability to judge all types of wines according to their unique characteristics.

Here’s how to prepare it quickly and easily.

Ingredients Needed for Cava Sangria

Before you start, make sure you have all the ingredients on hand:

• 1 lemon
• 1 orange
• 1/2 apple
• 1 slice of pineapple
• 3 strawberries
• 6 grapes
• 30 g of sugar
• Juice of 2 oranges
• 50 ml of brandy
• 50 ml of orange liqueur
• 2 cinnamon sticks
• 700 ml of Castell d’Or Brut cava
• Plenty of ice

Steps to Prepare Cava Sangria

1. Preparing the Fruits

1. Cut the fruits: Start by cutting the lemon, orange, apple, and pineapple slice into pieces or slices. Cut the strawberries in half and remove the grapes from the stem.

Variants of the Cava Sangria Recipe

Experiment with these variants to give a personal touch to your sangria:

• Cava Sangria with berries: Adding berries like raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries can bring a more intense flavor and an attractive coloration.
• Cava Sangria with peach: Adding pieces of ripe peach and a touch of peach liqueur can create a sweet and fruity version of sangria.
• Cava Sangria with fresh mint: Incorporating fresh mint leaves can add a refreshing and aromatic note.

 Castell d’Or presents a new limited edition red wine, ‘A Legendary Wine’, a proposal that pays tribute to Catalan culture and the Sant Jordi celebration, while also showcasing the richness of native grape varieties.

Made from 100% Trepat —a signature variety of the DO Conca de Barberà— this young wine expresses freshness, authenticity, and a strong connection to its land. With this initiative, Castell d’Or reinforces its commitment to winemaking tradition and cultural identity.

Inspired by the legend of Sant Jordi, this wine evokes the moment when the knight defeats the dragon and, from its blood, a rose is born. A universal symbol of redemption, love, and hope that, in this edition, becomes a unique sensory experience.

Moreover, ‘A Legendary Wine’ is the perfect detail to celebrate Sant Jordi: ideal for gifting, sharing, or enjoying in good company, turning every toast into a meaningful gesture.

‘A Legendary Wine’ is not just a wine, but an invitation to celebrate Sant Jordi with all the senses, toasting to history, land, and the emotions that bring us together.

• The first event will be ProWine Tokyo, which will take place from April 15 to 17, 2026, at Tokyo Big Sight. This trade fair, part of the international ProWein network, has established itself as a strategic gateway to the Japanese market, one of the most dynamic and with the greatest growth potential for European wines. The event, exclusively for professionals, brings together importers, distributors, sommeliers, and hospitality managers, and its latest edition welcomed more than 56,000 visitors and nearly 200 exhibitors.

• Subsequently, Castell d’Or will participate in ProWein Singapore, from April 21 to 24, 2026, at Singapore Expo, considered the benchmark platform for Southeast Asia. This fair is part of ProWein World and is held jointly with FHA Food & Beverage, which expands business and networking opportunities with professionals across the entire value chain. Its latest edition gathered more than 200 exhibitors from 27 countries and nearly 15,000 trade visitors, consolidating its role as a key access point to a growing and high purchasing power market.

• Finally, Castell d’Or will also be present at Vinexpo Hong Kong, which will take place from May 26 to 28, 2026. Vinexpo Asia is considered one of the most important trade fairs in the Asia-Pacific region and a strategic hub to connect with markets such as China, Japan, and South Korea. With a solid track record since 1998, this fair brings together thousands of international professionals and offers a key platform for the global promotion of wines and spirits.

With this continued presence in Asia, Castell d’Or reaffirms its commitment to international expansion and the consolidation of its brands in strategic markets, taking advantage of the strong growth potential and increasing demand for quality wines in the region.

A commitment to internationalization

With a well-established presence in the Spanish market and international recognition in Asia—such as the two gold medals obtained at the SAKURA Japan Women’s Wine Award, the most prestigious wine competition in Asia and a key trendsetter in the Japanese market—

Castell d’Or is betting on the Asian market as a way to continue growing. “Participating in trade fairs such as ProWine Tokyo, ProWein Singapore, and Vinexpo Hong Kong is much more than showcasing products: it is about building strategic partnerships, gaining first-hand insight into Asian market trends, and strengthening the positioning of our cavas and wines in an increasingly competitive environment,” says Jordi Amell, CEO of Castell d’Or.

At these international events, Castell d’Or will present a representative selection of its portfolio, with special emphasis on the cavas and wines from its cooperatives, highlighting their origin, quality, and cooperative model. The goal is to expand its distribution network in Asia and strengthen relationships with key importers, distributors, and opinion leaders in the region.
