The Raventós family is one of the oldest producers in the Penedés region. The family estate dates back to 1497, and they’ve continually made wines there. In 1872, Josep Raventós made the first traditional method Cava. The modern winery began in 1986 and is run by twenty-first-generation winemaker Pepe Raventós. His Rosé "De Nit" is made from the classic white Cava grapes — Xarel.lo, Macabeo, Parellada with a tiny bit of red Monastrell for color and complexity. This intriguing Rosé is sharp on the palate with hints of red fruit, cinnamon, rose petals, and an ever so slight creaminess. The decadent flowing texture brings waves of citrus salt-flavored bubbles. An appealing mix of depth, complexity, and mineral-etched precision.
