A restaurateur by vocation, Francisco Patón, is Food and Drink Manager at Derby Hoteles and imparts knowledge every day in the dining room of Europa Decó (Madrid). His sensitivity towards sparkling wines is revealed in every line of his heartfelt tasting notes. In his monthly wine tasting column in Esquire, he describes Manuel Raventós, the cava by Raventós i Blanc, as a product which reveals its charms gradually.
In the section “Vins i Licors” in the “Sortim” supplement to the daily newspaper Avui, two products are recommended, one of them L’Hereu Reserva 2007 from Raventós i Blanc.In the mouth this is a crisp, tasty, fruity cava with a balanced acidity, creamy bubbles and a long finish.
Manuel Raventós: Jolie coleur dorée, brillante et vive. Ce cava exprime une belle maturité, une certaine évolution en bouteille. Nez plein, puissant mais délicat. Compact et élégant, parfait équilibre entre vinosité et fraîcheur. Un cava d’auteur (8000 bouteilles seulement) comme l’aime à présenter la cave. Frédéric Galtier.
It its La Bodega del Baco section Gran Reserva de la Finca 2004 cava from Raventós i Blanc is given a rating of 9.5, highlighting it as an elegant, very tasty product.
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.
La revista Cellier en su apartado “Sparkling wines” presenta algunos espumosos de diferentes partes del mundo, en España destaca L’Hereu Brut 2006, de Raventós i Blanc, “un cava con una sólida personalidad ideal para acompañar aperitivos”.
L’Hereu : Crisp, green fruit and fresh acidity on the nose, bone-dry palate with good fresh fruit on mid and a citrus finish. John radford.
L’Hereu: Worth its price. Substantially tight and dry with a bitter and a bit clumsy appearance
De Nit: Un cava intrigante, Un vino con una coreografía llena de misterio. Meritxell Falgueras.
Elisabet Raventós: Their Elisabet Raventos 2001 Cava is just about the most beautiful sparkling wine I have ever tasted. The range of cava being produced and indeed the prices they can command are vast. Claire Dodd
Elisabet Raventós: Another prestigious Cava label is Raventos i Blanc. We happily sampled a bottle of their Blanc Elisabet
