Blind champions
By Joan Munné, technical director and oenologist in Raventós i Blanc. A farmer from a very young age, I have been working at Raventos i Blanc for fifteen years. I graduated as an oenologist at the URV (2008-09) and studied to become a Sommelier at the CETT-UB (2012-14). Harvests at Graham Beck, Quinta Sardonia and […]
Travelling to the soul of wines
“Le vin est la plus saine et la plus hygiénique des boissons” Louis Pasteur As Pepe Raventós always says, travelling helps you open your mind and gives you a different perspective about everything in life. Trips to Burgundy, Barolo, Champagne…, you see how things have been done well, and you gain a better understanding of the real path. We travel, we learn and we realize that we have a […]
The New York Wine Experience
Going back to where Pepe and his family spent 5 winters in an incomparable setting: the New York Wine Experience, probably the most important wine event in the world. Just a year ago we were talking about natural wines, about the Raw Wine Fair and New York, the city that has stolen all our hearts. […]
The harvest of hope
The days just before the harvest days are almost like organizing a wedding. Looking up at the sky again and again, general excitement, an underlying feeling of nervousness that increases as the day gets closer. The most important task during the preceding days is to visit each plot to see the maturity level of the […]
Raventós i Blanc, the most mineral estate
The singularity of the geology of the Conca del Riu Anoia is what enables us to show off our wines just as they are: mineral and saline. The history of the soils from the Raventós i Blanc estate – framed in the geographic area of the Conca del Riu Anoia – not only contain the […]
Can Sumoi

Lost traditions
A popular tradition which exists in several European countries, customary since ages past and carried out in an artisan way once a year, coinciding with the coldest months of winter, which provide the best possible conditions for manipulating the fat and meat from the pig. It continues today but is no longer performed like it […]
The poetry hidden behind pruning
It’s winter; the time has come. The vine is asleep; all energy is directed towards the roots and the life is mainly found in the soil. The most intimate contact between man and nature occurs during pruning. Observe, breathe, walk around and sense, above all sense. Before we prune, we must first study the vineyard, […]
Wine readings
“A bottle of wine contains more philosophy than all the books in the world.” Louis Pasteur. In spite of being quite in agreement with what Louis Pasteur preached, we also believe in the magic of books. You are not a true fan of wine without a good wine cellar (full) of publications. Often, choosing a […]
Natural Wines, Raw Wine and New York
“If the rise of the natural movement has been of any use, it has been to raise awareness of man’s intervention in winemaking.” Josep Pitu Roca. Natural wine has changed the landscape. A lot has been said recently about the rise of the natural wine movement. Natural wines have existed since time immemorial. In fact, the first […]
