Cava Dryos White

Wine Varieties

In order for a white wine to be classified as “Cava’’, it ages 6 months in oak barriques, followed by 6 months in the bottle. This is exact amount this wine ages with the 6 months being in Hungarian oak.

The specific, tender care with which we provide these varieties results in a beautiful, concentrated taste. No irrigation systems are used at this vineyard in order to increase concentration.
