CAVAS LLOPART

Cava Llopart is one of the oldest Cava houses in Spain. The family’s history dates back to 1385, and the first Cava Llopart bottles were produced at the old country house cellar in 1887.  Despite a difficult start due to the phylloxera plague at the end of the 19th century, they managed to pull through together with great perseverance and hope by introducing the most suitable grape varieties to elaborate, high-expression, and complex cavas.

Today, Cavas Llopart is consolidated as a high-quality product by being true to their roots and using exclusive craft elaboration methods in accordance with the strict traditional system of "Champenoise".

They elaborate their theirwines at the family’s country estate, "Can Llopart de Subirats", situated in a mountainous area that was geologically formed 22 million years ago and where a great number of molluse fossils have been found. Here, the appropriate microclimate with moderate rainfall and the balanced grounds with a moderate level of nutrients and organic compost, shape the perfect setting for vine cultivation, resulting in concentrated, balanced grapes of exceptional fineness that will define the personality of all their cavas and wines.

Their wines are organically farmed and produced, duly certified by the authority CCPAE, the Catalan Council of Organic Production, the public watchdog responsible to the Catalan Government's Ministry of Agriculture.

Llopart is a founding member of the new brand, CORPINNAT, which stands for a collective European Union Brand established with the aim of distinguishing great sparkling wines made in the heart of the Penedès from 100% organic manual harvest, 100% vinification on the premises of the winery, and long ageing.
