Vinicola De Nulles

Catalunya, Alt Camp, Tarragona, Spain

Vinícola de Nulles is a historic cooperative winery founded in 1917 in the village of Nulles, in the Alt Camp comarca of Tarragona, Catalunya. The cooperative was born from the collective ambition of local vine growers to rebuild after the devastating phylloxera crisis. The winery operates from a spectacular Modernista building designed by Cèsar Martinell, a disciple of Antoni Gaudí. Known as a "Cathedral of Wine," the structure features iconic parabolic arches built from local lime and clay, engineered to optimize light and temperature for winemaking. The cooperative unites nearly 100 partners who farm approximately 400 hectares across the Mediterranean landscape surrounding Nulles. While 90% of production is base wine for cava sold to larger producers, they bottle their own range under the Adernats brand — wines expressing the territory shaped by Mediterranean breezes and generations of viticultural knowledge.

Winemaking Philosophy

Rooted in the cooperative principle that the vineyard is the foundation of their craft. Their guiding ethos: "Loving and being passionate about the land are the essence of thorough work." Under the Adernats brand, they pursue quality through proper vineyard work, organic certification, no dosage sparkling wines, and minimal sulphur additions — expressing the terroir of this millennial wine region.

Macabeo, Xarel-lo, Parellada

One of our best-selling sparkling wines and a sommelier favorite for by-the-glass programs across New York City. Adernats Cava Brut Nature is a traditional-method sparkling wine from Vinicola de Nulles in the Penedès region of Catalunya, Spain. Made from organically farmed Macabeo, Xarel-lo, and Parellada grapes — the classic Cava trilogy — this bone-dry Brut Nature sees zero dosage, letting the chalky minerality and bright citrus character shine through. At 11.5% ABV, it delivers exceptional quality at a price point that makes it one of the most compelling by-the-glass sparkling options on the market. Whether you are a restaurant seeking an affordable BTG sparkling, a wine bar looking for an organic crowd-pleaser, or a retailer stocking approachable Spanish bubbles, Adernats consistently over-delivers.

Traditional method (méthode champenoise). Primary fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Secondary fermentation in bottle with extended lees aging. Zero dosage (Brut Nature) — no sugar added after disgorgement, resulting in a bone-dry, mineral-driven profile. The grapes are organically farmed in the chalky limestone soils of Alt Camp, Tarragona province, in the heart of Catalunya's Cava country.
