Dominio de la Vega

Dominio de la Vega is a small winery in Utiel-Requena, 2,500 feet above sea level inland from Valencia. Founded in 2001 by three families, the Pardo, Exposito and Faubels who had previously built up Cavas Y Vinos Torre Oria in the region, before disagreements with their shareholders led them to strike out on their own. The domaine is housed in 19th century buildings, lovingly restored. They own 17 hectares of vineyards from which they make a range of red and white wines, and some of Spain's finest Cavas for which they have become famous. They have been highly rated by Robert Parker and consistently achieve high scores in the Peñin Guide, as well as the Brut Reserva Especial being voted best Cava in Spain in 2003 and again in 2006.
