Raventos i Blanc

Rosado de Nit Conca del Riu Anoia 2023

Super dry, super crisp, super mineral/chalky, strong bubbles. Pale salmon and golden in color. Bitters on the finish. Good aperitif with a charcuterie plate. It’s very bracing, nice pairing with richer foods. Thanks Pepe — 7 months ago

de Nit Rosé Cava Blend 2020

We opened this beautiful Cava, the 2020 Ravantós i Blanc Conca del Riu Anoia Extra Brut Cava Rose. From Catalonia Sant Sadurni D'Anoia, Spain. A blend of 44% Xarel-lo, 39% Macabeo, 12% Parellada and 5% Monastrell.

On the nose is strawberry, lemon, white peach, lime peel, almond and a bit of minerality.

On the palate there is strawberry, citrus, lemon, lime peel, tarragon, hazelnut, yellow apple and minerality.

This wine is medium bodied with an onion skin color with a bone dry mouthfeel medium + to high acidity that leaves us with a long fresh citrus wet rock finish. At $23 you can't go wrong. This will hang with the best sparkling wines. I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend please stay safe and healthy heading into this week ahead. Nostrovia! 🥂🥂🥂🥂

El Riu Priorat

LB marathon purchase. I love Priorat. This is 100% Carignan, old vines. Stewed plum, baking spice, vanilla on the nose, big blast of earth on the palate, vegetal. Not for the faint of heart, or fruit forward wine lovers. — 4 years ago

El Ramon Priorat Red Blend 2011

Delicious legit Priorato w/great density & vigor: inky big time black fruit & minerality on nose, forest floor, spices like cinnamon & clove - earthy, soil, really complex. Fresh on palate but still with great tannic grip - tons of fruit but balanced w/secondary layers. Paired well w/braised short ribs — 5 years ago

De la Finca Gran Reserva Cava Macabeo-Xarel-lo-Parellada 2014

50% XareL-Lo, 40% Macabeo, 10% Parellada

Spain, Barcelona - Conca del Riu Anoia (Not Cava, working on unique DO since 2012)

Clear, lighter side of medium gold, steady stream of bubbles.

Clean, lite autolytic character, medium mineral, could develop further

Dry, medium acidity, sleek body, light autolytic notes before notes of saline mineral, even dispersion of delicate bubbles on palette.

Medium+ finish

Good on its own, better with food, more pronounced acidity saline and autolytic notes with food. bubble basically gone in last pour (1.5 hours). Very much welcomed at my table, very happy.

Old vines in Goblet system from 1964.
Vineyard is an ancient sea bed with fossilized sea shells from way back in the day. Land has been vineyard, and a family estate since 1497 (Raventós and eventually +Codorníu) 1986 Manuel Raventós i Blanc produced the first estate cava.... lots of history, and Biodynamic to boot!

'Manuel Raventos Negra' Espumoso Conca del Riu Arnoia Xarello

Amazing vintage from the best sparkling producer: Not as high of salinity as others, but strong sour apple and apricot made this a somewhat champagne-like experience (in a good way)! — 2 years ago
