Introduction
The 2022 Raventós i Blanc Cava Blanc de Blancs Brut is a refined, sparkling white wine from Penedès, Spain, made with elegance and tradition by the Raventós family.

Terrior
Located in the heart of Penedès, the Raventós estate benefits from a Mediterranean climate and limestone-rich soils. These unique conditions promote acidity and mineral complexity, ideal for sparkling wine production. The high-elevation vineyards enjoy cooling breezes, which allow the local white grape varieties to ripen slowly and evenly, maintaining natural acidity and aromatic intensity.

Appearance
Pale straw with fine, persistent bubbles, showing clarity and brightness.

Nose
Aromas of green apple, pear, and lemon zest, complemented by notes of white flowers and a subtle hint of brioche from aging. There’s a marked minerality on the nose, reflecting the limestone terroir.

Palate
Light-bodied and crisp, with flavors of citrus, green apple, and stone fruit. The fine bubbles and refreshing acidity provide a creamy texture, while mineral notes add depth and structure. The Brut style ensures a dry, elegant profile with just a hint of toasted almond.

Finish
Clean and refreshing, with lingering citrus and mineral notes, leaving a crisp, dry impression that invites another sip.

Ideal as an aperitif or paired with oysters, seafood, and light tapas, this Cava showcases the finesse and complexity of Raventós i Blanc’s dedication to traditional methods and sustainable practices.
