Producer description of "Freixenet, S.A."

The Spanish sparkling wine empire, headquartered in the town of Sant Sadurni d'Anoia in the DO area of Penedès (Catalonia), is the largest producer of Cava (sparkling wine), ahead of its major competitor Codorníu, with over 100 million bottles produced each year. It was founded in 1889 by Dolores and Pedro Ferrer Bosch and today covers around 420 hectares of vineyards.
