Manuel Raventós cava, the winery’s prestige cuvée, wins best cava award.Manuel Raventós 2001 cava won first prize for a Spanish cava at the 7th Madrid Fusión international gastronomy summit held in Madrid on 20th, 21st and 22nd January.Madrid Fusión is the meeting place for professionals from the world of gastronomy and wine, as well as journalists from Spain and abroad, and is one of the essential dates in the wine competition organised by the Spanish union of wine tasters.The competition consists of three knock-out rounds. In the first two, the Spanish union of wine tasters makes a prior selection, by blind tasting, out of over 420 samples submitted from the most prestigious wineries in the country, which compete in four categories: white wines, red wines, sparkling wines and fortified and liqueur wines.The ten best wines in each category go into the finals, where they are assessed, again by blind tasting, by ten experts: four members of the Spanish union of wine tasters plus six international specialists.Manuel Raventós Gran Reserva Personal cava was born in the year 1991. After ten years making this sparkling wine, Manuel Raventós realised that the best wines always came from two specific plots on the Raventós estate. On this basis he made this unique cava which is born of the two landmark plots on the Raventós i Blanc estate: El Mirador and La Creueta del Coll.
