Description

Chaveo Sparkling Wine | D.O. Bullas

 Organic   Vegan

Chaveo Sparkling Wine is a high-quality traditional method sparkling wine from DO Bullas (Murcia), crafted with precision and extended aging to achieve depth, structure and elegance. Produced from 100% Macabeo (Viura) , it stands out as one of the most distinctive sparkling wines from the region.

What defines this wine is its long aging on the lees — around 40 months , placing it well above entry-level sparkling styles and closer in complexity to premium long-aged cavas.

This extended maturation creates a wine with real presence and character :
aromas evolve from citrus and green apple into baked apple, brioche, toasted notes and subtle nuttiness , while maintaining freshness thanks to the altitude vineyards of Bullas.

On the palate, it is broad, structured and layered , with fine, well-integrated bubbles and a creamy texture. The finish is long, dry and elegant, showing both maturity and balance.

This is not a simple sparkling wine — it is a gastronomic, age-driven sparkling wine , offering a rare combination of Mediterranean warmth and high-altitude freshness.

About the Producer

Bodega Monastrell is a small, quality-focused winery located in the Valle del Aceniche , one of the most distinctive zones within DO Bullas. The vineyards sit at around 850–900 meters altitude , a key factor that allows the wines to retain freshness and acidity despite the warm Mediterranean climate.

Founded in 2005 by Alfonso and Mavi , the winery was built on a philosophy of respect for the land, organic farming and minimal intervention . All vineyards are cultivated organically, with a strong focus on sustainability and expressing the natural character of the terroir.

The soils in the region are calcareous and poor , forcing vines to develop deep root systems, which results in wines with greater concentration and mineral character. Combined with over 3,000 hours of sunshine per year and significant diurnal temperature variation, this creates ideal conditions for producing structured yet fresh wines.

While Bodega Monastrell is best known for its Monastrell reds, the Chaveo sparkling project showcases the versatility of Bullas and the winery’s willingness to explore beyond traditional styles. By applying the traditional method and long aging , they produce sparkling wines with complexity and identity rarely seen in the region.

The result is a winery that blends innovation, terroir expression and craftsmanship , positioning itself as one of the most interesting emerging producers in Murcia.
