Opera Prima

What Opera Prima does

Opera Prima is a Spanish-origin sparkling wine brand produced by García Carrión, one of Spain's largest and most awarded wine producers, with production based at a Huelva, Spain facility. The brand operates two product lines: the Charmat line of sparkling wines (Bellini, Blackberry, Blue Moscato, Brut, Extra Dry, Gold Moscato, Lemonade, Mimosa, Paloma, Rosé Moscato, and Rosso) and the Stelvin line of still wines with screw-cap closures (Brut and Rosé). All sparkling wines are produced using the Charmat (tank) method, in which second fermentation occurs in pressurized stainless steel tanks to preserve fresh fruit flavors and create consistent, lively bubbles. The portfolio spans dry styles (Brut at 11% ABV, Extra Dry) through sweet Moscato and cocktail-inspired varieties (Mimosa, Bellini, Paloma) at lower ABV ranges, positioning the brand for casual and celebratory consumption occasions. The U.S. market is served through distribution in approximately 13 named major retail chains across mass (Walmart, Target), grocery (Kroger, Safeway, Publix, H-E-B, Hy-Vee, Albertsons), club (Sam's Club), convenience (Buc-ee's), specialty (Total Wine & More, Binny's Beverage Depot, Sendik's), and e-commerce delivery (Instacart, DoorDash) channels, with U.S. marketing managed by ADX Creative, a Wisconsin-based entity. The business model is straightforward CPG distribution: one-time product sales through retail and e-commerce channels at accessible price points, with public pricing not disclosed on the company website. The brand has received industry recognition including a 2026 Gold Medal (96 points) for Pink Moscato and Silver Medal (93 points) for Brut at the '50 Great Sparkling Wines of the World' competition, a 2026 Silver Medal at the WSWA Wine and Spirits Tasting Competition for Paloma, and 90 points from the Tasting Panel for Mimosa, plus an Impact Magazine Hot Brand Award. Go-to-market relies on content marketing through a brand blog and recipes hub, active social media presence across Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Pinterest, and TikTok, and a store-locator tool to drive consumers to retail purchase points.
