An intense and extreme harvest, full of joy and uncertainty

The 2026 harvest was the earliest in our history, but it was also fast-paced, intense, surprising and, at times, worrying. This year, our days began while it was still dark. By 5 a.m., the team was already in the vineyard, and many mornings the first bunches were picked by the light of our headlamps, before […]

“It’s not just about tasks, but about understanding the vineyard and working alongside it”

We speak with David Casas, viticulturist at Raventós i Blanc, in the heart of spring in the vineyard. With him, we delve into this time of year to understand what is happening in the vines now and why spring is a key stage that shapes everything to come. David has been working the estate’s vineyards […]

Biodynamics, a path of constant learning

At Raventós i Blanc, we see the estate as a self-sufficient agricultural organism, where soil, plants, animals, and people work together in harmony. Biodynamics is part of our daily life and today represents the most demanding, precise, and coherent way to care for the vineyard. We are certified by Demeter, a certification that ensures we […]

A decisive winter for our vineyards

  The arrival of winter brings with it important tasks at our historic estate. Within the parameters of the sustainable viticulture practices we carry out (organic, biodynamic and regenerative), there are several works in which we have made some adjustments to minimize the effects of the drought. Among them, pruning, the application of compost or […]

More than 10 years of animal traction on the estate

 10 hectares and three horses More than a decade ago, around 2009, we began to work our most emblematic plot, Clos del Serral, with the help of horses, as an alternative to the use of tractors in such a unique environment. The benefits were almost immediate, and we decided to extend the work with animal […]

Life and Strength

Over the last three months, during the State of Alarm, nature on our estate has continued to grow strong. The vines, and all the agricultural environment, have run their course, even accelerated by the heavy rains this spring. This year has been particularly rainy; rainfall so far in this cycle is 661.5 mm – from […]

Vineyard tasks on the estate in spring

As Pepe Raventós says: “Making a great wine is an easier task than we tend to think.” And we all know that wine is made in the vineyard and the vineyard is where it all begins, but we are perhaps unaware – or not sufficiently aware – of all the work behind the scenes, everything […]

Can Sumoi

Visitors to the farm is always good news. There are those who, sometimes, bring you pastries from the other side of the world with labels that you’re not even capable of understanding, those who give you their best smiles and those who pass by without saying anything, but at the end – like everything in […]

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, […]

When everything comes full circle

“Our work, basically, is like an artist’s. We strive to obtain the best possible grapes and wine from each plot.” This is how Pepe defines his passion, his work. This is how the harvest begins for us, finalizing sketches and creations, the most longed-for moment of the year. The moment when anything is possible. Just […]
