About

This is a brut nature sparkling wine from DO Conca del Riu Anoia, Catalonia, Spain, crafted from Xarel·lo (50 %), Macabeo (40 %) and Parellada (10 %). Biodynamically grown from massal‑selected vines in the Vinya dels Fòssils. It undergoes separate fermentation by variety and is aged for at least 30 months on lees. Exhibits fine bubbles, fresh citrus fruit, pâtisserie and yeast tones, with saline minerality and a delicate yet well‑structured palate. Serve chilled at 6–8 °C and pair with shellfish, creamy rice dishes or poultry with cream sauce

Producer

The wine-making history of the Raventos family began in the distant 1497, which makes this family one of the oldest wine dynasties operating in this industry without interruption. The first bottle of cava was bottled in 1872 by Josep Maria Raventós i Fatjo, initiating a tradition that was held in high esteem by subsequent generations. In 1986, he decided to sell his stake in Codorníu, the largest cava production in the world, which was still owned by the family at the time, and create a new winery, Raventós i Blanc, keeping only the best vineyards. Today the winery owns 46 plots of land, each with its own unique characteristics. Since then, the emphasis has been on quality and regionality, highlighting the characteristics of the terroirs of the São Sadurní d'Anoia region. The sparkling wine is made exclusively from Xarel-lo, Parellada, Macabeu and Monastrell (Mourvèdre) grapes, and is characterized by a complex multi-layered taste, expressiveness and durability. The current owner, Pepe Raventoss, places great value on a healthy vineyard environment through biological synergies in which animals, vines, soil and people act as one agricultural unit. In 2012, the winery received a biological farming certificate. Since 2013, Raventós i Blanc is no longer part of the Cava DO geographic origin region; the winery moved on to create a new appellation, designated by the principle of terroirs - Conca del Riu Anoia will run from the Mediterranean Sea to the Catalan mountains, between the rivers Anoia and Foz.

Tasting notes

This is a dry, exceptionally refined vintage sparkling wine with very fine perlage and striking minerality. The nose reveals yellow apple, ripe lemon, patisserie whispers, and subtle smoky notes. The palate is crystalline and structured — citrus, pear, almond, light yeast, and a slightly bitter, saline finish. Harmonious, precise and elegant

Pairing

Raventós i Blanc, founded in 1497 in Sant Sadurní d’Anoia in Catalonia, is one of Spain’s most historical wineries. They pioneered bottle-fermented sparkling wine in Spain in 1872 and adhere to biodynamic and organic viticulture.
De la Finca Blanco 2019 is sourced from the historic “Vinya dels Fòssils” vineyard, planted in 1964 on limestone soils rich in marine fossils, imparting pronounced salinity and terroir character. Grapes are hand-harvested using massal selection, then fermented grape-by-grape and aged for 30+ months on lees with minimal intervention

Raventos i Blanc

All products from this vendor

Macabeu

All products from this varietal

Macabeo white wines can be crispy, fresh, green fruit-driven and floral when harvested quite early and aged in stainless steel, but rich, honeyed and and full of overripe fruit aromas when aged in oak and harvested a bit later.

Conca del Riu Anoia

All products from this village

Leading Penedes winemaker Raventos I Blanc – which has quit the Cava DO – has unveiled the framework for a new sparkling wine appellation. Conca Del Riu Anoia is intended to form a very small geographical area surrounding the Anoia River valley between the Anoia and Foix Rivers in eastern Penedes. A key aspect of the appellation is a severe tightening of the current rules of production and reflection of the terroir.

Catalunya

All products from this region

In Catalonia, DO status was first created in 1999, and it became the first regional production area in Spain, which united all vineyards not included in any of the 11 existing DOs at that time. The capital of Catalonia is Barcelona, the second largest city in Spain with one of the largest ports in the Mediterranean. Its seaside location has certainly contributed to the development of local winemaking. Catalonia has a wide variety of winemaking traditions. It is believed that the skills of viticulture were first introduced by the Phoenicians and Greeks around 400 BC. e. The Romans then expanded viticulture and the industry flourished until the Moorish occupation. Then the vineyards were abandoned or given for other purposes. Later Christians revived viticulture in the territories adjacent to the monasteries. Until the end of the 18th century, wine and spirits were among the most important exports in the region. Since then, Catalonia has established itself as a dynamically developing wine region.
