Unlike most Cava on the market, which is made from purchased fruit and mechanised production, the Roger Goulart Organic Reserva is estate-grown and hand-disgorged. Furthermore, the organic certification ensures no synthetic pesticides or herbicides touch the vineyards. A level of transparency that mass-market alternatives cannot match. As a result, each bottle carries both traditional-method integrity and farming accountability. For those comparing organic sparkling options in Nairobi, this Reserva offers a level of craft and authenticity that rivals entry-level Champagne at a significantly lower price point.

Tasting Notes
Pale gold with fine, persistent bubbles. The nose is fresh and precise. Initially, green apple, white peach and lemon zest dominate. However, with a few minutes in the glass, fennel pollen, chamomile and a faint almond-biscuit note emerge from the lees ageing. Furthermore, a chalky minerality develops underneath — a signature of the limestone soils in the Penedès foothills.
On the palate, the wine is crisp and linear. The mousse is fine and creamy rather than aggressive. Additionally, the acidity is bright and mouth-watering, carrying flavours of crisp apple, Conference pear and pink grapefruit through the mid-palate. The 18 months on lees contribute a delicate brioche and toasted hazelnut complexity. Meanwhile, the finish is clean and saline, with a lingering note of citrus peel and crushed oyster shell. This is a wine of genuine finesse that works equally well as an aperitif or at the table.
What You Need to Know:
What does this Cava taste like compared to Champagne?
This Cava is made by the identical traditional method, but the grape varieties differ. Xarel·lo, Macabeo and Parellada give greener, more herbal notes than Champagne’s Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Think green apple and fennel rather than brioche and citrus. The mousse is similarly fine.
Is this Cava dry or sweet?
This is a Brut — dry, with less than 12 grams of residual sugar per litre. The bright acidity makes it feel even drier on the palate. It is not a dessert wine.
Should I drink this now or cellar it?
Drink now. While the wine has 18 months of lees ageing, it is designed for freshness and vibrancy. Therefore, the optimal drinking window is 2025 to 2027. The organic fruit character is at its most expressive in the first two years after release.
What food works best with this Cava?
Grilled prawns, seared scallops and soft goat cheese are ideal. The acidity and saline finish complement seafood and creamy textures. Additionally, it works as a standalone aperitif with light nibbles or fried starters.
Is organic certification significant for sparkling wine?
Yes. Organic vineyards exclude synthetic pesticides and herbicides, which can leave residues in the final wine. For drinkers sensitive to additives, or those prioritising farming transparency, the certification provides accountability that conventional production does not.
How does Reserva differ from standard Cava?
Reserva requires a minimum 18 months on lees, compared to 9 months for standard Cava. The additional time develops greater complexity — brioche, almond and toasted notes that younger wines lack. This 2021 meets that standard with six months to spare.
What should I do if this bottle is out of stock?
Our customer service team can help you find a suitable alternative or source the product where possible. Reach out before your event.
How fast can I get this Cava delivered in Nairobi?
Nairobi orders placed before 9 PM qualify for same-day delivery, typically completed within a 1-hour window. Free delivery applies to orders above KES 3,000 within Nairobi. Orders outside Nairobi are delivered nationwide across Kenya within 24 to 48 hours.

Description

A certified organic Cava from one of Catalonia’s oldest houses, now available in Nairobi, Kenya. The 2021 vintage delivers traditional-method precision through estate-grown Xarel·lo, Macabeo and Parellada.

The 2021 growing season in Penedès was mild and balanced. As a result, the three traditional varieties ripened evenly while retaining bright acidity. Furthermore, the winemaking team employed whole-bunch pressing to preserve the delicate aromatics of each grape. Xarel·lo contributes structure and green apple depth, Macabeo adds floral lift, and Parellada brings citrus precision. The wine was then aged 18 months on lees which is six months beyond the Cava DO minimum for Reserva status. Moreover, the organic certification and handcraft approach have earned the house a following among sommeliers who value transparency over volume. For buyers in Kenya seeking a certified organic sparkling wine with traditional-method credentials, this is the most distinctive bottle currently available at The Wine Box.

About The Winery
The winery dates to 1881 in Sant Esteve Sesrovires, at the heart of the Cava-producing region in Catalonia. The house has remained family-operated for five generations. The elevated Penedès sites, where the estate vineyards lie, provide the limestone soils and diurnal temperature shifts that the three traditional varieties need for balance.
The house’s commitment to hand-riddling and hand-disgorging is not marketing. It is a production reality that limits volume but preserves quality. For collectors and drinkers in Kenya, Roger Goulart represents one of the last genuinely artisanal Cava houses — offering certified organic, bottle-fermented craft at a price point that makes it accessible for regular enjoyment rather than special occasions alone.
