Guarda vs Reserva: What do these terms actually mean?
For many of us, Reserva sounds familiar, but few know what it actually refers to.
In the world of Cava, the answer lies in ageing.
At RONÏS, all our wines are crafted using the traditional method and spend time ageing on their lees. Depending on how long they age, they fall into either the Guarda or Reserva category.
Why does that matter?
Because time shapes the wine. It influences the texture, the bubbles, and the aromatic profile in the glass. As ageing progresses, fresh fruit notes become more layered and nuanced, revealing new dimensions of character and complexity.
Understanding these categories is one of the simplest ways to navigate Cava with confidence.
