Gran Juvé Brut Gran Reserva The pinnacle of Juvé & Camps’ line, this Gran Reserva Cava is a special blend of equal parts Macabeo, Xarel-lo, Parellada, and Chardonnay, all sourced from estate vineyards at higher elevations. This blend, along with five years’ aging on the lees, creates an unforgettably layered sparkling wine. Brilliant gold in color, with lively aromas of white flowers, green apple, ripe tropical fruit, lightly toasted bread and orange- blossom honey. 2010 : 91 WA | 2009 : 91 WA | 2007 : 92 WA | 2005 : 90 WA | 2004 : 91 WE Gregal d’Espiells Blanc This elegant and floral white wine is created from the highest quality grapes, farmed in our vineyards of Espiells and Can Massana estates. A careful and meticulous selection of the finest grapes harvested at their optimal ripeness, allows this crisp white wine to hold a perfect balance between aromatic intensity and freshness. An alluring blend of Gewurtztraminer, Malvasia and Muscat, this wine comes from the renowned Espiells and Can Massana vineyards just outside of Barcelona. Named for the light wind that comes in from the Northeast, Gregal boasts aromas of white flowers, fresh herbs and citrus, while nuances of lime zest and lychee fruit appear on the palate. Elegant and floral, the Gregal d’Espiells is overtly pleasant with a strong character.

La Capella Brut Nature Gran Reserva Juvé & Camps La Capella, a limited-release Gran Reserva, benefits from nine months of refinement in bottle, lending a delicate golden color and a fine stream of bubbles that culminate to form a crown atop this regal Cava. Nuances of fresh stone fruit intermingle with savory notes of toasted brioche on the nose, while rousing flavors of walnut and apricot shine through on the palate. A pleasant effervescence lends a smooth, solid structure to the lingering finish.
