Here are the beautiful new Raventos wines.

Raventos

April 29, 2024

One of the storied Cava houses in the world, Raventós i Blanc is a famil-run business founded in 1497 in Sant Sadurní d'Anoia, Penedès, Catalonia, Spain. , This high elevation region is known for Cava sparkling wine. The estate of the Raventós family covers about 90 hectares of vineyards and woodlands. Some of the vineyards are extremely old, planted to traditional Cava varietals — Macabeo, Xarel-Lo and Parrelada.

Raventos is now in their 21st generation at this plot of land in Penedes, as the soils in the vineyard were formed over 16 million years ago. They are calcareous with marine fossils as there is a chalky minerality, with serious salty character in all of the wines. I love the great value 2021 Raventos ‘Blanc de Blancs’ Cava (OB, 92) which is fresh and shows a refined mousse. Learn more at https://www.raventos.com and here are my reviews of the new Raventos wines.

2021 Raventos ‘Blanc de Blancs’ Cava- The 2021 ‘Blanc de Blancs’ comes from a 40 year old site. This is nicely textured Cava with nutty and damp earth tones that combine with lemon peel, and copious minerals with a soft mousse. Drink 2024-2032- 92

2020 Raventos ‘de Nit’ Rose Cava- The 2020 ‘de Nit’ is a beautiful blend of 49% Xarel·lo:  and 34% Macabeu: with smaller parts Parellada and Monastrell, This is very pretty in the glass, offering red rose petals, watermelon and orange blossom on the nose. The palate is fresh and polished with a silky texture. Sea salt and stony accents complete this outstanding new and highly nuanced Rose. Drink 2024-2032- 93

2020 Reventos ‘De La Finca’ Cava- This beautiful Cava combines Macabeo, Xarel-Lo and Parrelada varietals as this comes from a location with copious fossil content. This is polished and rich with layers of brioche, melon and citrus fruits that mingle well with copious minerals and salty accents. Finishing long, this is an outstanding wine that has a long way to go in the cellar. Drink 2024-2034- 94
