Cava Vega Medien Brut Nature Ecológico

The Cavas Marevia winery

Cavas Marevia is one of Spain's leading producers of organic cava. Located in Requena, in the Valencian Community, the winery boasts a rich history dating back to 1861 with the founding of Casa Sala. Cavas Marevia was officially established in 2004 and has been led by the Hevia-Ferrer family since 2019. Their vision combines tradition with innovation and a deep commitment to sustainable viticulture.

The winery uses exclusively organic grapes and produces all cavas according to certified organic processes. No herbicides or synthetic pesticides are used. Instead, biodiversity is central, and the soil is naturally maintained. This philosophy is also maintained in the cellar: they use unmodified yeasts and organic sugar for the secondary fermentation. Cavas Marevia is fully committed to sustainability, including its own solar energy system that powers most of the production.

The origin: Requena in the Valencia region

Requena lies on a plateau west of Valencia and is the heart of the Cava DO region in the Valencian Community. The altitude of the vineyards, the Mediterranean climate, and the chalky soils create a perfect balance between ripeness and freshness in the grapes. During the day, the warmth of the Levantine sun prevails, while the cool nights contribute to the aromatic refinement and natural acidity.

The landscape is interspersed with vineyards, almond groves, and olive groves. This natural environment reflects the philosophy of Cavas Marevia: crafting wines that express the character of the region, with respect for nature and terroir.

Vega Medien Brut Nature Ecológico

The Vega Medien Brut Nature Ecológico is a pure, refined cava produced entirely organically. This wine is blended from 75% Macabeo and 25% Chardonnay , sourced from organically certified vineyards around Requena. The wine is aged in the bottle for over twelve months at a constant temperature of 15°C, without temperature fluctuations or exposure to light. This tranquility gives the wine its balance, complexity, and exceptionally fine mousse.

As a Brut Nature, this cava contains no added sugar (only 1.5 g/L dosage), allowing the natural expression of the grapes to fully express itself. It's a wine that exudes purity and elegance, with an alcohol content of 11.5%.

Vinification and maturation

Harvest takes place early in the morning to keep the grapes cool and prevent oxidation. After a gentle pressing, primary fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a low temperature to preserve the fresh aromas. Secondary fermentation takes place in the bottle using the traditional method. The cava then matures on its lees for over twelve months, developing complexity and roundness.

The long resting period develops subtle notes of pastry and brioche, while the Chardonnay adds structure and elegance, and the Macabeo provides freshness and fruit. The result is a balanced cava that combines finesse with depth.

Color, smell and taste

The Vega Medien Brut Nature Ecológico has a straw-yellow color with light golden reflections and a lively, fine mousse. The nose reveals aromas of ripe white fruit, such as pear and apple, complemented by notes of citrus, mocha, and a hint of bread dough. On the palate, it is full-bodied, creamy, and refined with a delicate mousse and harmonious acidity. The finish is long, with subtle notes of toasted bread and almond.

Thanks to its pure style and lack of dosage, the wine is exceptionally clean and fresh, without sacrificing complexity. It is perfectly balanced and displays the natural elegance characteristic of Marevia cavas.

Serving temperature and drinking time

Serve the Vega Medien Brut Nature Ecológico between 6 and 8°C. This cava is ideal as an aperitif but also works well at the table. Its creamy texture ensures the wine doesn't overpower, and the flavor remains refined from start to finish. It pairs perfectly with fish dishes, shellfish, and light oven-baked meat dishes.
