Raventos I Blanc - Conca Del Riu Anoia Blanc De Blancs 2023 (750ml)
Product price
Description
Raventos I Blanc's Blanc de Blancs comes from Conca del Riu Anoia in Catalonia, a subregion of Cava. The 2023 is a blend of Xarel·lo, Macabeu, Parellada, and Malvasia de Sitges, aged 18 months on the lees without malolactic fermentation. The producer works with organic grapes and disgorges to order, dating each bottle for freshness.
The wine opens with white fruit, pastry, and a whisper of lime, then reveals herbaceous notes of hay and straw that speak to the vineyard's character. On the palate it shows real tension, with fine, persistent bubbles and a dry, chalky finish. The acidity is bracing and clean, the overall effect balanced and easy to drink without sacrificing complexity. This is sparkling wine built for food and conversation, not decoration.
