RAVENTOS I BLANC CONCA DEL RIU ANOIA 'DE LA FINCA' 2021

The prestigious Raventós i Blanc estate stands as Spain's premier sparkling wine producer, with twenty-one generations of viticultural expertise dating back to at least 1497. Their De La Finca cuvée exemplifies the unique terroir of Conca del Riu Anoia in Catalonia, where 90 hectares of biodynamically farmed vineyards benefit from a distinctive microclimate influenced by a river, lake, two streams, and the Turó del Serral hill. Meticulously crafted from the traditional trio of Xarel-lo, Macabeo, and Parellada grown in 16-million-year-old calcareous soils rich with marine fossils, this elegant sparkling wine displays a pale yellow hue with enticing floral and citrus aromas. The palate reveals remarkable freshness and mineral precision—a direct expression of the estate's ancient terroir—culminating in a long, refined finish that showcases why Raventós has established itself as the benchmark for sophisticated Spanish sparkling wine.
