There is something remarkable about uncovering the oldest family business in a country and Cordoniu is the oldest family business in Spain, having been founded way back in 1551.
This is a family business that is always seeking to innovate and striving to improve their wines.
Codorníu, a family winemaking business in Catalonia, is the world’s oldest producer of cava, the sparkling wine made by the traditional champagne method. The company’s President since 1988 is Mar Raventós, whose great grandfather made the first cava in 1872 after visiting the Champagne district of France.
