JUVE & CAMPS
If we were to state that Juvé Camps is one of the best wineries in the world of cava today, we would not be wrong! Our claim is supported by all the work they have been doing over the years as well as the fact that they are always at the cutting edge of progress and technology. The history of this winery begins more than 200 years ago when Joan Juvé Mir founded what today has become one of the most celebrated wineries in Spain.
In 1921, the founder's grandson, Joan, married Teresa Camps Ferrer and together they built an underground cellar in the family home in Sant Sadurní d'Anoia in order to create their first sparkling wine.
Today the business is located in Es piells in a magnificent winery, which wine lovers and members of the press can visit during the Magníficat wine fair organised by Juvé Camps and its distributor, Primeras Marcas, every two years. (Primeras Marcas is one of the biggest distributors in Spain boasting a portfolio of prestigious international wineries).
I am delighted to have this opportunity to write about one of the most iconic wines, not just of the winery, but of the wine world in general: the Reserva de la Familia. But in this case, the pleasure is twofold because we are reviewing the new Reserva de la Familia Rosé. This rosé cava is being launched to mark the winery's centenary. The original Reserva de la Familia, which we have all come to know and love, was actually launched 46 years ago!
This Brut Nature Rosé is crafted from Pinot Noir grapes from 50-year-old vines. It is a real treat with intense and pleasant aromas that are initially reminiscent of ripe red fruit and wild berries but are then followed by intense floral and patisserie notes. The palate is smooth and seductive with sensual bubbles and a delicate mouthfeel.
This is one of the newest yet most remarkable cavas around today.
Si decimos que Juvé Camps es una de las mejores bodegas que existen en la actualidad en el mundo del Cava, no es ninguna mentira. Mi afirmación viene precedida del trabajo que hace años que están haciendo, a banda de que siempre están a la orden del día en cuanto a progreso y tecnología. La historia de esta bodega empezó hace más de doscientos años. Joan Juvé Mir fue el precursor de lo que a día de hoy es uno de los proyectos más laureados del panorama nacional.
En el año 1921, el nieto del fundador, de nombre Joan, contrajo matrimonio con Teresa Camps Ferrer y juntos habilitaron una bodega subterránea en la casa familiar de Sant Sadurní d'Anoia con el objetivo de elaborar su primer espumoso.
En la actualidad el proyecto está ubicado en Espiells en
