"Pale lemon colour with aromas of fresh pear, melon, and white flowers. Vibrant mousse, fresh fruit, chamomile, and mineral notes. Floral hints of peony, foxglove, and catmint. Dry, zesty, and refreshing."

"A broad nose with good depth, full of creamy and yeasty notes with white fruit, chalk and seashells. Intense and concentrated flavors with a medium to full body and a refined, creamy mousse that lasts to the lengthy finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold."

"The 2020 Raventós i Blanc De La Finca Brut Nature is crafted from a cépages of fifty percent Xarel-lo, forty percent Macabeu and ten percent Parellada. The wine was aged for thirty months prior to its disgorgement in December of 2023. The wine offers up a beautifully complex bouquet of tart pineapple, lemon, breadfruit, salty minerality, lemongrass and a touch of raw almond in the upper register. On the palate the wine is bright, full-bodied, focused and complex, with a lovely core and mineral drive, frothy mousse, lovely balance and a long, vibrant and classy finish. This is very fine juice. 2024-2045."

"50% Xarel-lo, 40% Macabeo and 10% Parellada from the higher 'Vinya dels Fossils' partof the estate grapes around the Serral hil. Shallow, pure limestone soils. There's a subtlereductive signature here which plays beautifully into the narrow, mineral build of this finerelease, which encloses its pure clementine, pear and pale stone fruit in a delicate, vividcasing touching on complexity of white rose and pepper. Such lift and acceleration throughthe palate here † exciting wine. 2024-2028"

"Pale straw in color and with a fine mousse, this wine offers a bouquet of Fuji apple, lemon zest and orange blossom. It is crisp on entry with lemonlime and nectarine flavors backed by vivid effervescence, brilliant acidity and notes of white chocolate and croissant. ‡M.D"

"Sleek and well-knit, with a fine creamy bead carrying flavors of white raspberry, preserved lemon, white blossoms and Marcona almond. Shows linear focus and definition, but expands nicely through the midpalate and finish. Xarel-lo, Macabeo and Parellada. Disgorged April 2023. Drink now through 2028. 3,500 cases made, 800 cases imported."
