WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
The 2021 Raventós i Blanc Blanc de Blancs is a sparkling wine marked by the typicity of its place of origin, the Vinya del Llac, a vineyard over 40 years old, which allows the winery to obtain a structured, fresh and complex sparkling wine.
Blend: 40% Xarel·lo, 35% Macabeu, 20% Parellada, 5% Malvasia de Sitges
TASTING NOTES:
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.
Wine Enthusiast, 93 pts.
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.
James Suckling, 91 pts.
Fresh and focused, with a lacy texture, this is a minerally version overall, showing hints of smoke and stone on the nose, plus a salty underpinning to the palate's range of tangerine, ripe yellow plum, blanched almond and chamomile. Xarel-lo, Macabeu, Parellada and Malvasia de Sitges. Disgorged March 2023.
