Raventos i Blanc Conca del Riu Anoia Brut Textures de Pedra 2021

$5499

When Raventós i Blanc broke with Cava in 2012 to establish their own appellation, the goal was to make sparkling wine that could speak about specific places — and Textures de Pedra is the clearest expression of that idea. Sourced entirely from the Vinya Més Alta, the highest, stoniest plot on the estate, this is a vintage cuvée built on local red grapes: Xarel·lo Vermell (a pink-skinned mutation) and the high-acid, almost Nebbiolo-like Sumoll. There's nothing else in Catalonia that tastes like it. Biodynamically farmed, hand-harvested, and aged for years on the lees, this is grower-Champagne thinking applied to a Penedès hillside.

"The 2021 Brut Nature Textures de Pedra is composed of 60% Xarel·lo Vermell and 40% Sumoll from Conca del Riu Anoia, Penedès. It was aged 42 months on the lees and shows slightly mature aromas of cherry, herbs, a touch of rubber and modest complexity. Dry and chalky with a fresh, tense expression, fine bubbles and a hint of grip, it offers a precise blanc de noirs profile." —Joaquín Hidalgo

More about Raventos i Blanc

The Raventós family is the first family in Cava, quite literally. Generation after generation of the family has lived in Catalunya for hundreds of years, farming the earth and growing grapes. In the late 19th century, inspired by French winemakers of Champagne, Josep Maria Raventós made the first Cava, and thus, an entire industry was started.

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Grilled prawns, sushi and sashimi, smoked trout, mushroom tarts, roast chicken with romesco, hard sheep's-milk cheeses.

Tasting Profile

Stony and savory, with bruised pear, blood orange, dried herbs, and a mineral grip that almost feels tannic. More structure than fruit, in the best way.
