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.
2. Place the fruits: Put all the cut fruits into a large pitcher.

2. Mixing the Ingredients

3. Add sugar: Add the sugar to the pitcher and stir slightly to coat the fruits.
4. Incorporate liquids: Add the juice of the two oranges, brandy, orange liqueur, and cinnamon sticks to the pitcher. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

3. Macerate and Chill

5. Let it macerate: Leave the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the fruits to absorb all the flavors. This step is key to achieving a sangria full of nuances.

4. Serving the Sangria

6. Add the cava: Just before serving, add the Castell d’Or Brut cava to the pitcher and stir gently.
7. Add ice: Add plenty of ice to the sangria and stir again.
8. Serve the sangria: Serve the cava sangria in glasses filled with ice, making sure to include some of the fruits as garnish. This will not only add a touch of color but also an extra flavor to each glass.

Tips for Enjoying the Best Cava Sangria

• Use fresh fruit: The quality of the fruit will make a big difference in the final taste of your sangria.
• Experiment with flavors: You can add other seasonal fruits or adjust the amount of sugar to your taste.
• Serve well chilled: Cava sangria is best when well chilled, so don’t skimp on the ice.

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.

Benefits of Cava Sangria

Cava sangria is not only delicious but also offers some benefits:

• Hydration: With its high fruit and ice content, it is a drink that helps to stay hydrated during hot days.
• Nutrients: Fruits provide vitamins and antioxidants, contributing to a balanced diet.
• Low in calories: Compared to other cocktails, cava sangria can be a lighter and less caloric option.

 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.

• 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.

In this edition, Castell d’Or is showcasing its main brands along with its latest releases, including products such as the Sparkling Cabaret 0%. The company’s CEO, Jordi Amell, emphasized the importance of being present at ProWein during a period when the international context of the sector is complex: “Despite the current global scenario, we believe it is essential to continue attending major international events to maintain contact with markets and further strengthen our international presence,” he added.

Amell highlighted that the fair represents “an opportunity to continue demonstrating the quality and personality of our cavas and wines to professionals from around the world,” adding that it also allows them “to share the essence of our products, the unique expression of our terroir, and the philosophy that defines Castell d’Or.”

New Releases at ProWein 2026

Several authoritative sources, including the reports from the World’s 50 Best Restaurants and the International Organisation of Vine and Wine, agree that the restaurant industry is in a transitional phase where authenticity and balance become the main pillars of the season.

Sustainable Cuisine and Reinvented Tradition

Menus are marked by local ingredients, ripe vegetables, and responsibly sourced fish. The use of open flames, wood-fired ovens, and direct cooking adds depth and character without losing authenticity. Gastronomy becomes an experience that combines flavor with connection to diners.

Non-Alcoholic and Low-Alcohol Wines

The non-alcoholic wine market has moved beyond being a niche curiosity and has established itself as a growing trend in the wine industry, particularly among consumers seeking a healthy lifestyle and moderation. Not only has the production of 0.0% wines increased, but their presence on restaurant menus, specialty stores, and social events has grown as well.

In Spain, a recent study revealed that 78% of consumers would be willing to try non-alcoholic wine, with particular interest among 18–35-year-olds, who value fresh, light, and versatile options.

Following this trend, Castell d’Or offers high-quality non-alcoholic sparkling wines, perfect for summer pairings:

• Salads and roasted vegetables

• Grilled fish and seafood

• Mediterranean tapas

• Light fruit-based desserts

Both moderate-alcohol and non-alcoholic versions maintain freshness, bubbles, and elegance, making them ideal for a light and balanced summer, combining enjoyment and well-being in every toast.

Health- and Wellness-Oriented Consumption

A significant part of the demand comes from consumers who prioritize healthy lifestyles, moderation, and tasting experiences without alcohol. This has become a key growth factor, particularly among young adults and urban audiences. Approximately 48–62% of health-conscious consumers prefer drinks with low or no alcohol during social occasions and meals.

Technological Innovation in the Kitchen

The digital revolution has reached the kitchen and promises to change our culinary habits. In 2026, artificial intelligence (AI) and other technologies will become gourmet assistants. Apps and virtual assistants can suggest recipes based on fridge ingredients, adapt classic dishes to dietary needs (removing allergens, offering vegan versions), and even propose flavor combinations you might never have imagined. Having a “virtual sous-chef” will become increasingly common.

In restaurants, AI helps predict the number of diners to reduce waste and design personalized menus based on preferences. Cooking robots automate repetitive tasks, and 3D food printing is beginning to create chocolate figures or pasta in impossible shapes. The goal is not to remove the soul from the kitchen but to free creativity and enhance precision.

Light Desserts and Ice Cream: More Than Just Dessert

Ice creams and sorbets are no longer just desserts—they now form part of the main dish, providing contrast in temperature and texture. Citrus sorbets that cleanse the palate or herbal versions that accompany proteins invite experimentation and refreshment with every bite.

Flavors of the World at One Table

Global influences remain strong, with flavors from Asia, Latin America, Africa, and the Mediterranean. Fresh sauces, subtle aromatics, and unexpected combinations enrich summer menus, adding dynamism without losing coherence or freshness.

A Year to Enjoy Tradition and Innovation

Summer 2026 promises to be a vibrant year for gastronomy, where past and future coexist in every dish. We will value local, homemade, and sustainable approaches while embracing creativity and futuristic tools. Food enthusiasts will be able to explore everything from homemade preserves to exotic ingredients, guided even by a gourmet AI.

All these trends share the same spirit: a passion for eating well, consciously and curiously. Here’s to a year full of new flavors, authentic pleasures, and culinary surprises to discover.

Made up exclusively of women professionals from the Japanese wine sector — including sommeliers, winemakers, educators, journalists, and experts in hospitality and distribution — this competition has established itself as a key reference point for consumers in Japan and across the Asian region. Year after year, the contest reflects the evolution of market preferences and promotes new selection criteria from a female perspective, reinforcing the growing role of women in the country’s wine industry.

Award-winning Cavas

In the 2026 edition, Castell d’Or received three outstanding medals:

• CASTELL D’OR CABARET CAVA BRUT NATURE RESERVA IMPERIAL 2022 – Gold Medal

• CASTELL D’OR PUPITRE CAVA BRUT RESERVA 2022 – Gold Medal

• CASTELL D’OR PUPITRE CAVA BRUT OR – Silver Medal

These awards strengthen the group’s position in Japan, an increasingly important market for the cava sector. Japanese consumers particularly appreciate elegance, freshness, and fine bubbles, as well as the gastronomic versatility of sparkling wines. In this context, Castell d’Or cavas have successfully connected with a culinary culture renowned worldwide for its sensitivity, precision, and respect for ingredients.

A perfect market for Cava

Castell d’Or’s CEO, Jordi Amell, emphasized that “Japan is an especially interesting market for the cava sector, with an incredible gastronomic culture and a high level of demand. Cava finds a natural fit there: its freshness, balance, and food-pairing versatility make it a great companion to refined and diverse cuisines such as Japanese gastronomy. These awards encourage us to continue strengthening our presence in this strategic environment.”

The competition is chaired by Yumi Tanabe, one of the most respected figures in the Japanese wine scene. With thousands of entries from around the world each year, the Sakura Awards have become a trend barometer and a key platform for the international promotion of wines and cavas in the Asian market.

With these new recognitions, Castell d’Or reaffirms its commitment to quality and to the international projection of its cavas, consolidating its presence in a demanding and sophisticated market with strong growth potential for Catalan sparkling wines.
