What is a Grower Cava?
Estate Grown and produced in a family run winery focused on sustainability. These Cavas are medium to small production, made with free-run juice and lengthy bottle aging before disgorging. The best among them rival Champagne for balance and finesse.

The story of YA'cuvee 23
YA'cuvee23 is the result of an exploration of Artisanal Grower Cavas that took place in January 2010 in Alt Penedes. First we traveled to wineshops in Sant Sadurni D'Anoia and Villafranca del Penedes seeking out all the Brut Reserva and Rose Grower Cavas we could find. Then we chilled and "brown bagged" our find and eight thirsty souls from various nationalities gathered to "blind taste" more than 12 Estate grown Cavas at a large wooden table - after a spirited discussion the 4 winners were chosen with a resounding YA'!
BUT we wanted more... to merge the body and mouth feel of one Cava with the bright nose and soft fresh finish of another... the cellar master nodded and we followed him into the winery - In the cellar we spent hours blending Cuvees to achieved our ultimate CAVA in a haze of bubbles we lost count at Cuvee 23. This Cuvee is made purely with free run juice "mosto flor" from sustainably farmed and hand harvested fruit - then aged on the lees for 2 1/2 years before disgorging.
Style? A fresh, clean Cava with a great nose, solid minerality, elegant mouth feel and a soft fresh lemon finish with very persistent bubbles. Drink slowly it is highly addictive - YA'Hooo!
