Raventós i Blanc Winery Guide

Winery Overview

Raventós i Blanc, in the scenic Penedès region of Catalonia, Spain, is a renowned winery that has carved out a niche in the sparkling wine world. With a rich history dating back to the 15th century, the estate is recognized for its unwavering commitment to quality and its dedication to producing excellent sparkling wines.

The Raventós family’s documented winegrowing history on this estate dates to 1497. In 1872, Josep Raventós Fatjó made a bottle-fermented sparkling wine from native estate grapes. Josep Maria Raventós i Blanc founded the present Raventós i Blanc winery in 1986, and his son Manuel continued the project after his father’s death that same year.

The estate took another significant step in 2012 when it withdrew from DO Cava and began calling its sparkling wines Conca del Riu Anoia, with the ambition of establishing a new designation of origin.

Today, Raventós i Blanc is hailed as a trailblazer in the world of sparkling wines, recognized for their meticulous vineyard management, organic and biodynamic practices, and an unwavering pursuit of excellence. With each bottle, Raventós i Blanc tells the story of a winery deeply rooted in tradition yet unafraid to push boundaries and redefine the possibilities of Penedès sparkling wines. As a result, many consider it one of the region’s finest sparkling-wine producers, in the same strata as Agustí Torelló Mata and Juvé & Camps.

The impressive “Milenario” Oak Tree, which was located in the center of the Chateaux-style estate, symbolizes Raventos I Blanc. It represents the family’s 500 years of experience and passion in the wine industry. The Raventos winery is well worth a visit.
