Barcino Flores Brut Cava

<< Previous wine    Next wine >>

While most cavas typically come from the warmer Mediterranean climate of Penedès in Catalonia, 'Barcino Flores' is a unique cava hailing from Spain's western Extremadura region near the Atlantic Ocean. This area has a distinctive terroir characterized by clay soils and the moderating effect of the ocean, resulting in wines with a vibrant and fresh character. Crafted by Alberto Orte of Vinos del Atlántico, in collaboration with the López Morenas family who own the largest vineyard acreage in the region, all of which is women-owned, this cava has a delicate and fresh profile. As depicted on the label, Barcino Flores embodies the elegance of the southern Atlantic terroir.

The Viñedos de Almendralejo area are situated in the southwesternmost part of the Cava Designation of Origin, within the municipality of Almendralejo, in Badajoz province, nestled in the Tierra de Barros region. Characterized by its predominantly flat terrain and clay soils, the vineyards are positioned at an average altitude ranging from 200 to 450 meters (650 - 1500 ft) above sea level. This region experiences a relatively arid climate with mild winters and hot summers, further intensified by the influence of the warm, local wind known as the "solano."
