Juvé & Camps

Juvé & Camps is a prominent winery from the Penedès region of Catalonia, Spain, known for producing sparkling wines. They are newsworthy due to their recent decision to leave the DO Cava (Denomination of Origin Cava), a regulatory body governing the production of Cava sparkling wine. Instead, Juvé & Camps has joined Corpinnat, a European Union collective brand established in 2018 by a group of Penedès winemakers. Corpinnat emphasizes stricter production standards, including organic agriculture, manual harvesting, and on-site winemaking, to highlight the excellence of sparkling wines from the Penedès. Juvé & Camps' move reflects a desire to elevate the perceived quality and prestige of their sparkling wines, aiming to compete with renowned sparkling wine regions like Champagne and reinforce their position in both domestic and international markets. This shift signifies a growing trend among some Penedès producers to differentiate themselves from the broader Cava designation and emphasize terroir-driven, high-quality sparkling wine production.
