Launching a Cava was an obvious choice for Måns, as Spain is his great source of inspiration when it comes to both food and wine. For a while, Måns lived parttime in Barcelona where he spent a lot of time writing music and enjoying the culture, the weather, the relaxed lifestyle and the people. In Spain, his already great interest in food and drink developed even further.

– After a few weeks in Barcelona, I began finding my way to restaurants that the locals went to, and I had my first “real” tapas experiences. We would sit there for hours and order dish after dish, drinking Cava late into the night and just enjoying ourselves. With an enormous love for Barcelona in particular, as well as its surrounding nature, I find it incredibly exciting to have had the opportunity to create a Cava together with Hermansson & Co and the producer Barcelona Brands S.L, says Måns Zelmerlöw.
Cava is made with same traditional method used to produce champagne in France, which means the secondary fermentation takes place in the bottle. In Spain there are six regions that produce Cava, and the grapes used are Macabeo, Parellada and Xarel-lo. Barcelona Brands S.L is a renowned wine producer with a focus on origin, craftsmanship and sustainability. The vines in Penedes grow some 500 meters above sea level and the grapes are harvested by hand.
