Discover the allure of LopezMorenas 'Valdeorite' Cava Brut, a sparkling gem from the renowned Extremadura region of Spain. Crafted by the respected Lopez Morenas family winery-established in 1943 and now run by its third generation-this Cava reflects a commitment to characterful, environmentally conscious winemaking. Sourced from meticulously selected vineyards in Almendralejo, where warm Mediterranean breezes and nutrient-rich clay soils nurture the vines, this wine highlights the unique qualities that set it apart from its Catalonian counterparts. With the vineyard in conversion to organic certification, sustainability is at the heart of every bottle. The traditional method of secondary fermentation in bottle and nine months' ageing on the lees ensures both elegance and complexity in every glass.
