Codorniu's Slogans & Taglines

Codorníu is a Spanish sparkling wine house founded in 1551 by Jaume Codorníu in Sant Sadurní d'Anoia, Catalonia, making it Spain's oldest family-owned winery and the pioneer of Cava production. The defining moment came in 1872 when Josep Raventós i Fatjó applied the traditional Champenoise method to native Penedès grapes—Macabeo, Xarel·lo, and Parellada—creating Spain's first bottle of Cava. In 1915, the brand commissioned architect Josep Puig i Cadafalch to design its modernist cellars, declared a National Historic and Artistic Monument in 1976. Core offerings span from the classic Cava range to prestige collections including Ars Collecta and Anna de Codorníu, alongside pioneering organic and single-vineyard expressions. Brand messaging has evolved from heritage positioning We are Codorníu, since 1551 to the provocative campaign We are not Champagne, we are Codorníu, reinforcing Cava's distinct identity. Today, recognised as a B Corp and the world's largest organic Cava producer, Codorníu continues to blend 475 years of tradition with innovation, exporting to global markets from its historic Penedès base.
