Spain: Leonor De Carrera
Leonor, the property owner, was a strong and kind woman who left a mark on all who knew her. She was born on the estate and remained there until she died. Her grandfather began making CAVA for home consumption in the late 1800´s, a tradition Leonor carried on. Several years ago, I promised her that a great cava someday would be labeled in her memory, and that bottle would be dressed as elegant as her. Today we continue to nuture the legacy she left behind by producing this limited production premium CAVA under her name
