Crafted in the heart of Spain’s renowned Rioja region, Campo Viejo Cava Brut Reserva offers a vibrant expression of the traditional Spanish sparkling wine style. Produced using the traditional method (the same process used in Champagne), this Cava undergoes a meticulous secondary fermentation in the bottle, followed by extended aging on the lees to achieve its signature finesse and complexity. A celebration-ready pour, it balances bright fruit flavors with refined bubbles, making it a perfect choice for both casual gatherings and special occasions. Available now at Whiskey Caviar.
