Freixenet (pronounced "fresh-eh-net"), best known for its "black bottle bubbly"
Cordon Negro, is a family-owned company that grew from humble beginnings
in rural Catalunya. The roots of Freixenet stretch back to 1861 and are
embedded in the history of two longstanding winemaking families, the Ferrers and the Salas, whose expertise, determination and ingenuity intertwined to
form the foundation of the company that today is the world leader in sparkling
wines. The proof, as they say, is in the bottle: today, the most often popped corks in the world say "Freixenet.“ Cordon Negro is a crisp, clean and well-balanced 'cava'
sparkling wine. The fresh palate of apple, ripe pear and bright citrus
flavors combine with a long finish and an exciting touch of ginger. Pair Freixenet Cordon Negro with anything from Eggs Benedict to seafood, such as lobster or bluefin tuna. It is also the
perfect pre-prime rib cava selection for oyster, caviar, or sushi appetizers.
