Raventós i Blanc
2021 Blanc de Blancs
BLEND | 50% Xarel.lo, 35% Macabeo, 12% Parellada & 3% Malvasia de Sitges
VINEYARDS | From the plots La Barbera, La Plana, El Plat and El Viader which have deep calcareous soils with a sand-rich loamy texture giving freshness and elegance and El Llac, a 40 year old plot with marine fossils providing structure and complexity. Biodynamic viticulture.
WINEMAKING | Made in the traditional method. Vinification in stainless steel tanks followed by secondary fermentation in bottle, aged for a minimum of 18 months. Extra Brut.
PRESS | 93 WE | “A steady stream of bubbles rises from the glass, releasing aromas of rising bread dough, slivered almonds and bergamot. Brilliant citrus and peach flavors are joined by notes of vanilla, honeysuckle and brioche alongside shimmering acidity that lingers on the palate.”
PRESS | 91 JS | “Fresh and elegant white fruit and brioche aromas with a chalky, minerally touch. Nicely generous on the palate, with delineated, frothy beads and a bright finish. Medium-bodied with a linear, medium-long finish, where some subtle seashell notes loom at the end. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.”
TASTING NOTES |A structured, fresh and complex wine with white floral notes on the nose. The wine is impeccably balanced with a marked minerality, soft and fresh fruit flavors, and some nutty notes. The small, nicely integrated bubbles and saline qualities are in perfect harmony with the slightly creamy texture.
