Vins El Cep

Kila Cava Brut Organic

    • Description :

      Vins el Cep (roughly translates to wines from the vineyard) epitomizes the concept of "grower" sparkling wine. Vins el Cep was the pioneering producer of organic and biodynamically farmed sparkling wine in Spain.
      Viticulture: The estate's best vineyard of each variety were selected for this wine. Macabeo from Can Simón, Xarel-lo from Can Prats, and Parellada from Can Castany. Vins el Cep is a unique producer of sparkling wine from Spain because all of their vineyards are certified organic and are estate owned. Can Castany is, in fact, certified biodynamic by Demeter. Vins el Cep was the first producer of Cava to employ biodynamic practices at their estate.
