Raventós i Blanc is owned by one of Spain’s most historic winemaking families, whose viticultural tradition dates back to 1497. Josep Raventós Fatjó produced Spain’s first traditional method sparkling wine in 1872 from estate-grown Xarel·lo and his descendant, Josep Maria Raventós i Blanc, went on to become a key figure in Spanish wine. Today, Raventós i Blanc is run by Pepe Raventós, who previously worked with Hubert Lamy in Burgundy, Gaston Chiquet in Champagne and Didier Dagueneau in Pouilly-Fumé. Pepe has inherited his grandfather’s spirit and vision, believing Raventós i Blanc should “convey our viticultural traditions, the strength of our land and the characteristics of our soils”. As a result, Pepe withdrew from the Cava DO in 2012, to focus on their distinctive Conca del Riu Anoia region in Alt Penedès.
Fresh, citrus nose with a hint of delicate Mediterranean herbs. The palate is elegant and well-balanced, with a full mouthfeel and a delicious, persistent finish.
