2021 | Raventós i Blanc | De Nit Rosado

A pale, subdued and elegant pink color with clean, pure and almost crystalline aromas of light citrus, red flowers, white fruit, and a touch of cassis. The clean nose evolves with a smooth, voluminous and fruity texture, pleasant freshness and fine bubbles.

Producer Information

Raventós i Blanc is a historic Spanish winery, credited with having one of the longest continuous records of wine production in the world. The estate has belonged to the Raventós family since 1497 and today, is farmed by the 21st generation. The estate is located in Sant Sadurní d'Anoia, Catalonia, in the heart of the Cava sparkling wine region. The Raventós i Blanc wine portfolio is exclusively Cava wine from the classic grape trio of Xarel-lo, Macabeo, and Parellada. The first documentation of grape cultivation at the 300-acre (121-hectare) estate dates back to 1497. At this time, the vineyards, an expansive lake, and the surrounding woodlands were known as the Can Codorníu where the Codorníu family grew grapes for both commercial purposes and personal consumption. Heir Maria Anna Codorníu married Miquel Raventós in 1681 and the estate was renamed accordingly. The first traditional sparkling wine of Spain was produced from the estate in 1872 by Josep Raventós I Fatjó, pitching the company into notoriety. By the late 1880s, the estate was planted with the Cava classic varieties Xarel-lo, Macabeo, and Parellada but it wasn't until 1977 that the Raventós i Blanc winery was constructed. Josep Maria Raventós i Blanc was responsible for this expansion of the estate and is credited as one of the creators of the Cava DO. In November 2012, the family decided to pivot away from the generic Cava DO and create a new Designation of Origin - Conca del Riu Anoia entirely based upon the unique microclimate of the estate. The DO is centered around the River Anoia Basin between the Catalan Pre-Coastal and Coastal Ranges. The microclimate of the estate is defined by the proximity to the Catalan coast. The diurnal temperature variation is minimized with mild winters and hot, dry summers. The Catalan Coastal Range protects the vines from excess humidity whilst the Montserrat and Serra d'en Compte protect the vines from cold prevailing wind from the Pyrenees. Here, large deposits of carbonated marine life in the limestone bedrock give the wines a distinct minerality. This soil type was the major driving factor for the establishment of the Conca del Riu Anoia DO.
