Raventós i Blanc De la Finca 2020 Bottle size: 750ml
Spain, Catalonia
R495
‘Sleek and well-knit, with a fine creamy bead carrying flavors of white raspberry, preserved lemon, white blossoms and Marcona almond. Shows linear focus and definition, but expands nicely through the midpalate and finish. Xarel-lo, Macabeo and Parellada. Disgorged April 2023. Drink now through 2028.’ – Alison Napjus, Wine Spectator, 92/100
‘Purslane-leaf nose and then pungently vegetal and saline on the palate. Tiny bubbles with fierce attack, and the acidity feels like fizzing sherbet. No sense of fruit, except that it is a little bit like sucking the chalky 'flesh' off baobab seeds. Channeling the spirit of Xarel-lo. Very Catalan in character. 2023-2026’ – Tamlyn Currin, jancisrobinson.com, 16/20

| Producer information | Since 1497, and for more than 20 generations, the Raventós family, has been working the land and tending vines in the Penedès region in Spain. 21st generation, Pepe Raventós, officially joined the family business, Raventós I Blanc in 2001 and in 2014 he also started his own project. The estate’s particular microclimate is influenced by the river, a lake, two streams as well as a hill known as the Turó del Serral. The soils which were formed over 16 million years ago are calcareous with marine fossils which are the ideal conditions for producing wines of freshness, elegance and a powerful salinity. All of the plots are biodynamically farmed so that the terroir shines in the wines. |
