The decree that bothered in Extremadura
El Royal Decree 1338/2018, of October 29 included two items that the customer didn't like at all. Extremaduran cava sector nor to Board for the Autonomous community. We explain why. The text suppressed the query that the Ministry to the autonomous communities when limiting the plantations of the denominations of origin of cava (DO Cava). Through this last ruling, these two articles are left out, thus giving the reason to the Junta de Extremadura.
Also, it establishes other thorny aspects. The decisions about the new plantations that want to register in cava and restrictions on replanting in the Appellations of Origin of a supra-autonomous nature must be taken by Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food and not for him Regulatory Council. This is how the initial picked it up Royal Decree of 1338/2018, de October 29.
One of the arguments of Regulatory Council of the DO cava stated that the restriction of processing of production responded to a preservation of product quality. In addition, they defend that there is a surplus of vineyards which has increased considerably in the last three years. For his part, the UEX report (University of Extremadura) presented to the courts played an essential role. He tried to prove (and succeeded) the injustice which meant imposing production limitations on a single territory, in this case, Estremadura.

El Government for the Board, After learning of the ruling, it has requested a concession to expand the hectares of vineyards in the next three years. In the same way, it demands the nullity of the restrictions on the cultivation of DO cava imposed in the years 2020, 2021 and 2022.
We always said that our cava producers in Tierra de Barros had more growth capacity. And, apart from this aspect, they could not be deprived of having a say in deciding the future of their plantations. Minister of Agriculture, Rural Development, Population and Territory, Begoña García Bernal.
However, Estremadura has endured this situation since December 2017. Until the year 2021 the appeal filed by the Board was not upheld.

Equity in limitations
Despite having to reach the Courts, Estremadura has demanded a new situation precisely. There were no risks of devaluation of the product or of its marketing being stopped and, therefore, the reasons attributed by the Regulatory Council of the DO Cava. Bill digging it is a product recognized both nationally and internationally and therefore, everything that has to be done to protect it will be welcome. However, we believe that the conditions should be the same for everyone.
