Product Description
Details

The sophisticated Raventós i Blanc De Nit Brut is a very interesting Spanish sparkling wine made from a blend of Macabeo, Xarel·lo, Parellada and a dollop of Monastrell.

The white grapes come from 15 to 40-year-old vines located in a very special area of the Penedès region called Conca de l'Anoia (basin of the Anoia River.) The terroir is highly characteristic, as it is composed of marine fossils that bring a particular finesse and minerality to the wine.

Produced by the Raventós i Blanc winery, the grapes are grown following the guidelines of organic agriculture. Besides, all the winemaking operations are carried out following the principles of biodynamic farming.

Each of the varieties was harvested by hand and separately vinified. The wine was produced only from the "free-run" juice.

Once the two fermentations were completed, Raventós i Blanc De Nit Brut 2021 was aged for over a period of 18 months.

The disgorging date of this rosé sparkling wine is printed on the back label.

Appearance

The rosé wine Raventós i Blanc de Nit Brut is pale salmon colour with some rosy tinges.

Nose

Clean aromas of white fruit, citrus and flowers, with dim notes of blackcurrants and wild berries. In the background, this blend of Macabeo, Xarel·lo, Parellada and Monastrell suggests notes of pastry and lees, along with some mineral undertones.

Palate

This rosé sparkler from Raventós i Blanc is extremely fresh and pleasant. Very elegant, with tiny, well-integrated bubbles and a creamy, smooth body. Fresh notes of strawberries, aromatic herbs, dry fruit and citrus. Crisp, tense acidity and a long, suave finish. 

Our personal opinion

The rosé sparkling wine Raventós i Blanc de Nit Brut 2021 is the perfect wine for a romantic soirée.

One of my favourite sparkling wine producers, who left the derelict Cava designation for good some years ago-and rightly so. Superb texture, sexy and caressing, long finish.
