Raventos i Blanc
Silencis Penedès Xarello

Raventos i Blanc was founded in 1986 by Josep-Maria Raventos, a member of the Codorníu family, produces a majority of very nice sparklers, makes a few nice still wines. Pale yellow with stone fruit aromas and mineral notes. On the palate apple and lemon flavors with savory minerality on a lingering finish. Very nice value. Tasting Sample.

Feb 5th, 2017Super duper fresh and racy. There's sheer drinkability here, but stick your nose in a bit deeper and you'll find that there's a lot going on. Top notes of citrus oil and flowers, but there's complex mineral and salinity underneath. Lovely!

100% xarello biodynamic horse plowed tastes like a real wine. Bright mineral and a little briny

Potent acidity and minerality. Very young and compact. Opened nicely over 2-3 hours.

Honey, more than a hint of apricot and savoury salines muscling out white flowers. Kelp and apricot on the tongue, real curl and tang of the sea at the front and the back.

Flinty, great acidity -- perfect with Sharon's spectacular chili on a sunny powder day! All Xarel.lo.
