The wine
The Valldolina is an artisanal top quality Cava with a structure the envy of many more expensive Cavas. Produced from the three usual Cava grape varieties, it also has a touch of Chardonnay to add structure, vinosity and finesse.

A young vintage compared to other Cavas, it has a special elegance and splendid balance thanks to the acidity and dryness of a great Brut Nature Cava. Its wonderful carbonic integration makes for an enchanting and lingering Cava with a final sensation of marine fossil minerality.

From 1998 onwards, organic farming methods were introduced which had a direct impact on organising and streamlining the various tasks undertaken, and now reflect the significantly different way in which these wines...
