Originally created for the private enjoyment of the Juvé family—hence its name: Reserva de la Familia. This Gran Reserva Brut Nature was first released to the public in 1976 and soon went beyond its original purpose to become the winery’s most iconic sparkling wine. Made exclusively from the free-run juice of a traditional blend of Xarel·lo, Macabeo, and Parellada, the grapes come from organically farmed vineyards located in the estates of Espiells, La Cuscona, and Can Massana.

This is the cava we’re known for and that is because of the hard work the Juvé & Camps family has put into making it for many, many years. The concept of a top-quality cava bringing together the traditional varieties of the region: macabeu, xarel·lo and parellada. These terriors give rise to the best characteristics for this cava, all with the same goal: to help showcase the true nature of the grape.
Gran Reserva Brut Nature
Tasting notes
Bright yellow colour with golden highlights. A perlage of great delicacy and persistence, true to its long ageing. On the nose it shows elegance and precision, with a clear aromatic expression where fresh fruit gives way to riper apple, accompanied by intense notes of fennel and other Mediterranean aromatic herbs such as rosemary. Ageing nuances add layers of lightly toasted bread and nuts. On the palate it combines freshness, complexity and opulence. The bubbles are fine, perfectly integrated, and they envelop the palate with their creaminess. The entry is vibrant and dry, characteristic of its brut nature style. It finishes with a fresh and expressive persistence, supported by a balanced acidity that lengthens the memory and adds depth and tension.

"Reserva de la Familia cava is the perfect companion for our cannelloni thanks to its creamy bubble, which pairs beautifully with the black truffle. The complexity of the ageing highlights the traditional roasted flavours in this dish. The acidity is pleasantly long and fresh on the palate, captivating from beginning to end".
