Vins el Cep Kila Cava Brut

Fresh, lively with fine, methode champenoise style cava stands (with 24 months of lees aging in bottle) heads and shoulders above other cavas in its price range.

From the heart of the traditional Cava region, (Penedès superior in Sant Sadurni d’Anoia, Gelida, and Sant Llorenç) the wine is a blend of organically farmed Xarel·lo (50%), Macabeu (25%), Parellada (25%).

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. Today, the winery produces wine exclusively from estate owned vineyards. Vins el Cep is extremely strict with their selection and sells several thousand liters a year in bulk to large, commercial Cava producers when quality is not to their standards. Maite Esteve, the matriarch of the company, is the paradigm of a vigneron. She is a grape grower, winemaker, CFO, label designer, marketer, director of sales, etc. Kila Cava Brut Organic is Vins el Cep's entry level sparkler, and aims to be a fresh, easy drinking, but serious cava that competes with lesser-quality, oftentimes mass-produced inexpensive bulk cavas from cooperatives and large corporate producers. In line with the producer's philosophy, Kila is always estate grown and bottled, sees extended bottle ageing, low dosage (less than 6 g/L RS), and is certified organic and vegan.
