The Supreme Court does not accept the objection of the Protected Designation of Origin (DOP) Java for processing, It is controlled by wineries in Catalonia, He intended that the Valencian production area of this sparkling wine would not be known by the name Cava de Requena. Therefore, the regulatory council needs to immediately change the specifications to include and recognize the production area of the above-mentioned Requena cava. Cava producers from wineries in Valencia Carrascal Huts, Coviñas, Hispano Swiss, Pago de Tharsys, UVE, Torre Oria and Dominio de la VegaIt will produce about 14 million bottles this year, almost 4% more than the previous year.
resolution is solid, as well as the right of Requena producers to determine, for the benefit of the consumer, the place of origin of the cava they produce. According to reports from the Requena Cava Producers Association, in 1990 Requena had to file a lawsuit before the Supreme Court, so when delimiting the Cava region as a result of joining the European Economic Community, then called the European Economic Community, they excluded the city of Requena. a producing region. HE Supreme Court ruled in favor of Requena, since the sparkling wines regulatory council (as it was then called) already recognized the then sole producer, Torre Oria, as a kava producer and was rightfully registered in Register No. 2 for kava pick producers.

In 2020, it was decided to identify different kava producing areas and the Regulatory Council did not find it appropriate to recognize the name Requena to describe the kava produced in Requena due to the alleged confusion with the Utiel-Requena DOP; “For the average consumer, if the cava produced in the municipality of Requena comes from this town and the invention of another name only undermines the many years of economic effort to create the Requena cava brand,” the association says.
Faced with this view, they came up with their own ideas. Generalitat Valenciana Ministry of Agriculture, the Requena Cava Producers Association And Dominio de la Vega, S.L., as a private winery and its partners had already advocated the name Requena in 1990, when the name was Torre Oria. In the last elections for membership in the Javanese DOP, Dominio de la Vega obtained a position in the plenary session of that body representing the census of vintners. Given that the regulatory council is driven solely by wineries based in France, this event has never occurred in its nearly four decades of existence. Catalonia until that time. This event was the first time that a non-Catalan winemaker/producer was able to present to the Cava DOP problems that are common and specific to the industry, and thus search for the best solutions together.
In the first example Supreme Court of Justice It ruled in favor of the three appellants and held that there was no confusion between the name CAVA and the name Utiel-Requena and that the overwhelming evidence presented showed that there had been not the slightest sign of confusion among consumers for forty years. What this production area deserved was Requena.

Although the preliminary document lacks sufficient basis to reveal any error or misinterpretation in the decision of the High Court of Justice and although its decision is the result of a duly considered decision, it cannot be denied that the terms and conditions necessary for raising preliminary questions have been legally fulfilled. Court of Justice of the European Union as stated by the appellant.
Fernando Medina: “The decision should not in any way alter the efforts made by all members of the General Assembly towards the goal of giving prestige and publicizing the importance of the name Requena cava.”
A new phase
With this, Dominio de la Vega, SL hopes to bring to an end a phase developed with great respect, although contradictory, between the members who constitute the General Assembly Meeting of the Javanese DOP and the members represented by this association. Fernando Medina, It says: “The decision should in no way alter the efforts made by all members of the General Assembly towards the goal of conferring prestige and publicizing the importance of the name cava, which defines a product of tremendous quality; as well as the production area, as a result of an effort to zone it aimed at improving its image and prestige.”
