About Juvé y Camps Cava
Juvé y Camps Cava is a leading producer of sparkling wine in the Spanish Cava region. The company’s origins run all the way back to 1796, though it was in 1921 that the company was founded and its first Cava was marketed. Today, it is a flagship producer for the region and its wines are regularly served at Spanish state banquets and other official events. The Juvé y Camps Cava vineyard spans over 1,000 hectares and its annual production is around three million bottles. This is dwarfed by larger producers such as Freixenet, though it is a considerable production nonetheless. Additionally, Juvé y Camps leads the way in the Gran Reserva Cava category of wines - sparkling Cava that has undergone ageing for a minimum of 30 months. Such extended ageing can impart much of the complexity associated with the best vintage Champagnes, though usually at a considerably lower price.The wines of Juvé y Camps Cava
