Within the cultivation systems and wine and cava production processes at Juvé & Camps, there is a critical moment that will mark the future of the future proposal: blending.

In this stage of mixing two or more varieties of vines, the winery’s oenologist, as a technical specialist in viticulture, is in charge of choosing and testing which grape varieties are going to combine in the most harmonious and surprising way possible to captivate the palate of lovers of red, white, rosé wines and premium cavas.

Once the final alchemy of the wine or sparkling wine has been defined at Juvé & Camps, it is aged in barrels or bottled, according to the process decided by the winemaker.
