@GVA FOR ¡HOLA! CAVA<br />

Over the past few years, Cava has been dazzling consumers in the<br />

international marketplace, even managing to outshine Prosecco and<br />

Champagne. But this year, its producers have had to cope with extreme<br />

drought conditions causing an unprecedented decline in crop volumes<br />

which are threatening output and volume sales. This challenging situation<br />

has led the appellation’s bodegas to contemplate a range of strategies to help<br />

them overcome the shortfall, but also redefine their actions in the future.<br />
