THE WINERY
Raventós i Blanc, a producer of top-quality cava with a well-deserved reputation for elegant, well conceived white wines, comprises a 90-ha estate vineyard, woods, and a lake in Sant Sadurní d’Anoia that have belonged to the Raventós family since 1497. The winery was founded in 1986 by Josep-Maria Raventos, a member of the Codorniu family. After abandoning the presidency of the big firm Codorniu, he set up his new independent, much smaller, and quality-oriented winery.
Today, the operation is run by his own son and grandson, direct descendants. At the end of 2012, in order to better understand and convey the viticultural traditions in terms of soil and climate, they took the decision to leave the Cava Appellation and adopt a new, uncertified designation to classify their wines: "Conca del Riu Anoia", the name for a small geographical area around the Anoia River Valley in eastern Penedès.
