Granvas

Granvas meaning in Spanish sparkling wine

Granvas is Spanish-language wine terminology associated with sparkling wine made by secondary fermentation in a large sealed pressure tank. It belongs to the broad tank, Charmat, Martinotti, or cuve close process family rather than the traditional-method sequence conducted in each final sale bottle.

The word does not set a universal fermentation time, temperature, pressure, sensory profile, or quality level. It also does not mean Cava. Cava is a protected designation with its own specification, while granvas describes a process context whose permitted use depends on the governing rules.

Use the Charmat method definition for the canonical process meaning and the sparkling wine methods guide for the full comparison.
