Raventós i Blanc

By Thierry Dessauve

TRADITION

Probably the longest viticulture tradition documented in the world owned by the same family, Raventós i Blanc has been a family estate since 1497, with 21 generations working in the same land.

ESTATE

With 90 Hectares of vineyards, woodland and a lake, Raventós i Blanc boasts an exceptional terroir. The Mediterranean climate, the microclimate of the Estate including the lake, the forest and the vines deliver 100% native grape varieties. The soils – with terrasses of more than over 16 milion years old, where we can find marine fossils – and a with little human intervention makes it possible. Raventós i Blanc has the perfect conditions for a high mineral sparkling wine.

VITICULTURE: BIOSYNERGY

The animals, the vines, the soils and the people working together in an agricultural unit create a life cycle. Rigorous, well- defined and respectful form of viticulture, based locally gives authenticity and tipicity to the wines.

“My dream is that the Raventós i Blanc wines of this new era will have their own name”
