Raventós i Blanc “Blanc de Blancs” 2024, Conca del Riu Anoia, Spain (Mètode Tradicional — Agricultura Sostenible)
From one of Catalonia’s most storied and principled sparkling wine estates — grape growers since 1497 — this Blanc de Blancs is a compelling argument for why Raventós i Blanc famously left the Cava DO to chart their own course under the Conca del Riu Anoia designation. Made by traditional method from white varieties grown on the estate’s limestone-rich soils (sols calcaris), the 2024 is precise, elegant, and wonderfully fresh. In the glass it pours a pale golden straw with a fine, persistent bead — the hallmark of a carefully made traditional method sparkling wine. The nose is lifted and expressive, with notes of white peach, green apple, lemon zest, almond blossom, and a beautifully chalky, saline minerality that speaks directly of the limestone terroir. On the palate it is crisp and tensile, with bright natural acidity framing flavours of citrus pith, brioche, green pear, and a subtle hint of fresh ginger on the clean, lingering finish. This is sparkling wine of genuine sophistication and terroir character — outstanding as an aperitif or paired with KSC’s more delicate passed hors d’oeuvres, oysters, fresh seafood, or goat’s cheese. Drink now through 2027.
