Colección Milesimé Parcelarios de Juvé & Camps

The world of wine and cava has multiple words that may seem complicated when in reality they are very easy to understand. Their knowledge will allow you to specialize as an oenophile and understand more precisely the characteristics of a wine or cava.

Parcel cavas, or wines, are those made with grapes grown in specific plots of a vineyard. They are also known as “de terroir” cavas because they reflect the unique characteristics of the terrain. Each vineyard plot is different in terms of soil type, altitude, sun exposure, microclimate… which influences the flavor, aroma and quality of the grapes.

The winegrower is in charge of carefully studying each part of the land and making the most appropriate viticulture decisions. This includes choosing varieties, growing practices and the evolution of grape maturity together with winemakers.

The most valued thing about local wines and cavas is their complexity. Each terroir provides different nuances that become a challenge for wine lovers, who enjoy a wide range of aromas, flavors and textures.

It enters widely on the palate, which is caressed by the vibrant and velvety passage of its bubbles, creating a voluptuous and pleasant sensation. It is rich and expressive, juicy and long-lasting like the taste of a beautiful reunion.
