La Fea Organic Cava | Carinena, Spain
“La Fea” comes from a land full of history, Aragón.
The origin of this name: It was the nickname of Queen “Isabel The Catholic” as she was known in that part of Spain after she married with “Fernando El Catolico”. Unfortunately, she wasn´t very pretty and she was not popular amongst with the people.
Like the Queen, “La Fea” is a range of wines that are powerful and with character!. “La Fea” is an honest wine, clear, that keeps inside a world of sensations to discover, the rootedness to land and the “good-work” of its people along the years.
Located in the town Paniza, it is part of the D.O. Cariñena. The vineyards are located on 30 years old parcels with calcareous clay soil and in a small proportion, in alluvial pebble over 40 years old for our most emblematic wines. Cooler evening summer temperatures and high contrasts in temperature.
