In 2009 Raventós i Blanc started up a project in cooperation with JRS – the Jesuit Refugee Service – to rebuild a school in the Katanga region, in the DR Congo.The total reconstruction cost is US$85,000, of which Raventós y Blanc aims to finance half. To this end, during the last Christmas season Raventós i Blanc managed to collect 29,373 euros.This year, Raventós i Blanc will carry on collecting money to make this school a reality, with our new Montserrat Blanc 2009 Vintage/Charity: all the resources generated by the sale of the 630 bottles of this vintage will be used to continue with the work of building the school.We hope that classes will actually begin in September 2011.
“Raventós i Blanc, among the landmarks of the cava world.Raventós i Blanc is located in the Penedès wine region. The soils there are poor in organic matter and contain a high proportion of lime. The estate is divided into three areas which are clearly differentiated by the quality of their soils and their climate. Today, Manuel Raventós and Pepe Raventós – the son and grandson of the founder – run the winery. With them came a new drive and new, stricter and more precise winemaking techniques have earned them a place among the landmarks of the cava world. They export to more than twenty countries and in Spain are present in the best specialist shops and restaurants. Their cavas are generally aged for a long time, clarified manually in racks and disgorged on demand.”
In the Wine Side Sumilleres magazine, in its Especial Cava section, Manuel Raventós 2002 is discussed. “It is truly complex and tasty, with a broad mouth. Its maturity does not diminish its crispness thanks to a lively, pleasant acidity. Slight but very interesting, original salty notes. An elegant effervescence which makes it creamy. A long finish recalling aromas of ripe fruit, vanilla and spices in the aftertaste. A cava with plenty of body, ideal to accompany a meal.”
Cooking Light magazine, in its section “Our holiday gift list”, recommends De Nit cava from Raventós i Blanc to hosts as a rich, complex and creamy cava.It highlights De Nit cava as a product worth enjoying at any time of day because of its liveliness and crispness, ideal for starting good conversations. De Nit 2006 cava is described as a rich, complex and creamy product, explosive with fruit and able to accompany a wide range of food.
Restauradores magazine recommends Gran Reserva de la Finca 2005. Gran Reserva de la Finca 2005 stands out for its brilliant straw-yellow colour. In the nose, typical notes of toast and ripe white fruit can be detected, with an explosion of fruit aromas resulting from the evolution of the Xarel·lo grapes, fine and creamy. In the mouth its crispness stands out, with plenty of bubbles; it is aromatic, broad and creamy, with the excitement of long ageing and it clearly recalls the original fruit.
