Dominio de la Vega Cava Expression Rosé Brut

This beautiful light pink Cava Rosé is made entirely from Garnacha grapes. During the hand-harvest, the grapes are carefully selected for their balance of ripeness and crisp acidity. The grapes are harvested early in the morning to prevent spontaneous fermentation and preserve freshness. The juice remains in contact with the skins for approximately six hours, resulting in a beautiful pink color. By slowly allowing the secondary fermentation to begin in the bottle in cold cellars and aging the wine on the lees for 14-18 months, the wine develops a fine mousse and a full flavor.

Dominio de la Vega is a true family business, a pioneer in putting quality wines from the small Utiel-Requena wine region on the map. The estate was established after a thorough renovation and modernization of the old Conde de Villamar winery. Conde de Villamar was built in the early 18th century by Count Ferrer de Plegamans. The winery has been restored and equipped with the latest technologies, yet with care and respect for the ancient traditions. The traditional underground "trullos" and tanks are now used as cellars, which remain a place of light and tranquility. In 1982, the estate began producing Cava in the area. A few years later, they were the first to bottle a high-quality 100% Bobal wine.

Dominio de la Vega is located in San Antonio Requena in the western part of the Spanish province of Valencia, at an altitude of approximately 700-900 meters above sea level. The poor, stony soils are rich in limestone and clay, resulting in low yields of high-quality grapes. The climate is Mediterranean with continental characteristics: long, cold winters, short summers, little rain, and abundant sunshine. The high altitude of the vineyards and the cooling sea breezes preserve the freshness of the wines. A truly privileged location to have a vineyard.

Dominio de la Vega produces wines and cavas in a traditional, natural way, with respect for the environment, the vineyards, and the grapes. The grapes are harvested in the dark, the coolest part of the day, which preserves their freshness. After fermentation, the wines are stored, following the winery's long-standing tradition, in quiet, dark cellars where they can age in peace. The winery specializes in quality wines from the D.O. Utiel-Requena, each with its own distinctive and pure character. Dominio de la Vega's cavas even received an "Excellent" rating from Robert Parker and were crowned "the best cava in Spain" by associations of oenologists and sommeliers.
