Production and refinement

Macabeu 45%, Xarello 30%, Parellada 20%, and Chardonnay 5%, from sandy vineyards located in the Catalunya region, near Sant Sadurní d’Anoia. The soils are of alluvial origin, with a Mediterranean climate that promotes slow maturation and high natural acidity. Harvesting is done manually, with each variety collected separately to ensure the maximum expression of the individual grape varieties.

Fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks and vinification using the Classic Method, with aging on the lees for approximately 2 years, which imparts the Cava with fine complexity and good structure.

Raventos Rosell

Tenuta Raventós Rosell, also known as Heretat Vall-Ventós, is located in the town of Masquefa, surrounded by vineyards at the foot of the old road to Montserrat. The estate includes the farm, the winemaking area, and underground cellars. The farm dates back to the 18th century, with various modifications over the years. In the 1980s, it was acquired by Joan Raventós Rosell, who began replanting a dozen different grape varieties across the 40 hectares of vineyards in Sant Sadurní d’Anoia.

Raventos Rosell

Raventós Rosell produces a wide range of wines, including those from the DO Penedès, made from single-varietal grapes such as Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc, as well as red and rosé wines from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Pinot Noir. They also produce base wines for Cava from grape varieties like Macabeo, Xarello, Parellada, and Chardonnay.

Spain

Spain is one of the absolute protagonists of European viticulture and ranks third in the world in terms of quantity produced. With a centuries-old tradition in oenology and viticulture, some of its wines have rightfully become part of the select group of the most appreciated types globally. An example is Jerez (or Xérès in French, or Sherry in English).

The importance of tradition in Spanish viticulture is confirmed by the fact that the spread of international grape varieties of French origin is very limited, and indigenous grape varieties clearly prevail.

In Spain, there are numerous traditional designations that integrate with the standard European denominations (PDO and PGI). Similarly to the French (AOC) and Italian (DOC) systems, the Spanish one also involves the use of specifications, introduced for the first time in the early 1900s, and includes numerous DOs (Denominación de Origen) that cover about 50% of national production and two DOCa (Denominación de Origen Calificada), introduced in 1991 - namely Rioja DOCa and Priorat DOCa. Wines that cannot be labeled with the DO abbreviation are called Vino de la Tierra (VdlT), which is equivalent to the Italian IGT.

On the label, you can find other traditional mentions that refer to the aging of the wine before marketing, namely:

- Joven: young wines, with about a year of aging;
- Crianza: Red wines with at least two years of aging (one in barrel)
White and rosé wines aged for at least six months in barrel;
- Reserva: Red wines with at least three years of aging (one in barrel)
White and rosé wines with at least two years of aging (six months in barrel);
- Gran Reserva: Red wines with at least five years of aging (two in barrel)
White and rosé wines with at least four years of aging (six months in barrel).

Catalunya

The wine region of Catalonia (Catalunya in Catalan, Cataluña in Spanish) is centered around Barcelona. Catalonia has a long-standing tradition linked to Cava, created in 1850, and has established itself as a leader in quality wine production, particularly sparkling wine. Today, it is the second-largest wine-producing region in Spain, with over 5.5 million hectoliters produced.

The climate is Mediterranean, warm, and arid inland, with predominantly sedimentary and calcareous soils. The key grape varieties include Macabeu, Parellada, and Xarel·lo for Cava, and Garnacha, Monastrell, and Tempranillo for red wines.

The 10 Catalan DOPs (Denominaciones de Origen Protegidas) include Priorat, the only DOQ, and the Catalunya DOP covering the entire region. The main wine regions are:
- Alella (white wines with Pansa Blanca)
- Conca de Barberà (red wines from Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir)
- Costers del Segre (wines from Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay)
- Empordà (red and rosé wines from Grenache and Cariñena)
- Montsant (historical Garnacha and Cariñena vineyards)
Pla de Bages (Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot)
- Tarragona (sweet and fortified wines similar to Port)
- Terra Alta (Garnacha Blanca and red wines)
- Penedès (Cava, along with white and red wines)
- Priorat (old-vine Cariñena and Garnacha).
A leader in the production of quality wine.
