The wine

To commemorate the 125th anniversary of their first bottle of Cava, and with a reproduction of the original 1887 label, Llopart Original 1887 Gran Reserva Brut Nature has been made in line with the most traditional methods, using grapes originating from the L'Alzina, Pere de Can Ros and Isidoro vineyards, all ranging in age between 55 and 60 years old and producing low yields.

The end result is a Cava the colour of old gold with crystal-clear glints and perfectly formed, very fine bubbles. A distinguishing feature is its aromatic intensity, featuring ripe white fruit, orange peel and with the notable presence of ageing notes (brioche, toasty hints, butter, dried fruits and nuts...). Creamy, with plenty of fullness, a powerful flavour and rounded acidity. A delicate aftertaste that persists and exhibits subtle touches, endowing it with great complexity.

Cavas Llopart

Ex Vite Vita. 'Life comes from the vine', the definition of a winery with deep roots in the land and centuries of tradition. Committed exclusively to wine production since the 18th Century, although dedicated to vine growing since 1385, Llopart is today a key name in the world of Cava, not only due to its excellent products (with the first dating back to 1887), but also for having been one of the definitive driving forces behind the recognition of Cava as a product of prestige...
