"Bright onion skin color. A lively, sharply focused wine displays pungent red berry, blood orange and floral qualities along with a subtle mineral nuance. Offers chewy, tightly focused redcurrant, cherry and orange pith flavors that show a refreshingly bitter edge and deepen slowly on the back half. Finishes dry and precise, with a sneaky floral note that hangs on with strong tenacity."

About the Producer: 

"Pepe Raventós is the 21st generation of the most exciting Spanish Sparkling producers, Raventós i Blanc. 

With a documented history of viticulture back to 1497, officially creating the first sparkling wine in Spain in 1872 by Josep Raventós i Fatjó, the Raven- tós family are one of the best sparkling wine produ- cers in the country. 

Pepe Raventós, of the current generation, is a dy- namic and forward-thinking man and honed his expertise with internships alongside the late, great Didier Dageneau in the Loire and Domaine Hubert Lamy in Burgundy, before returning to the family domaine to produce exceptional sparkling wines from their biodynamic, fossil-rich terroir. 

In 2012, Raventos i Blanc withdrew from the Cava DO to initiate a new, terroir driven appellation, Conca del Riu Anoia, due to a desire to set a stan- dard in high quality wine production, where rules such as the use of only indigenous grapes, ecologi- cal viticulture (100% Biodynamic), estate-produced and estate-bottled fruit and minimum of 18 months of ageing requirements, apply."
