Vega Cava

Union Vinicola del Este is today the most important producer of cava (sparkling) in Valencia. The house was only founded in 2007, which explains the absolutely state-of-the-art equipment at its disposal. The aim has been to produce cavas and wines of the highest quality from grapes sourced near the winery's home town, Requena. Here, where the wine tradition goes back about 2,000 years, the vineyards are located relatively high (600-700 m above sea level) and benefit from a climate with large temperature differences between day and night and a good cooling from the Mediterranean Sea – about 70 km. away.

These are perfect conditions for grapes for sparkling wines, where aroma, freshness and finesse are prioritized. Union Vinicola del Este sources its grapes both from its own vineyards and from winegrowers with whom it has a permanent partnership. A large part of the vineyards are now cultivated organically.
