standout range of classic, aged Cavas
about the winery started making Cava in 1882 and has made nothing but sparkling wine since then. An impressive winery built by modernista architect Ignaci Mas i Morell at the beginning of the twentieth century has cellars 30 metres underground where the wines naturally age. Now owned by Rioja producer CUNE, the range is very solid with the wines receiving extended lees ageing.
