Winemaker(s): Neleman — a Dutch-rooted Spanish project focused on organic viticulture, local grapes and minimal intervention, allowing terroir and climate to speak clearly.

Winemaking: Soft pressing of white grapes, fermenting the noblest must fraction at low temperature. Second fermentation in bottle at 16°C for finesse and a wide flavour range. No fining. Certified organic.

Name Meaning: “Cava Brut” indicates a traditional-method sparkling wine from Spain with a dry style (0–12 g/L residual sugar).

Interesting Fact: Requena sits at 700–900m altitude, giving this Cava its freshness and high-quality grape aromatics — a rare inland high-altitude terroir for Mediterranean Spain.

Serve With: Rice dishes, seafood, pasta, or as a fresh, elegant aperitif.

When to drink at Christmas: First glass for guests – or take to a party. It’s great value – and you don’t want to waste the expensive bottles on others
