2020 Raventos I Blanc Textures de Pedra Blanc de Noirs Espumoso Conca del Riu de Arnoia, Catalonia, Spain (750ml)

WINEMAKER'S NOTES: 

This is the combination of three local black grape varieties: Xarel·lo vermell, Bastard Negre and Sumoll. Textures de Pedra is a Blanc de Noirs concentrated on the palate and with a great potential for ageing.

TASTING NOTES: 

The 2020 Brut Nature Textures de Pedra is composed of 50% Xarel·lo vermell, 25% Sumoll, and 25% Bastard Negre, sourced from the Conca del Riu Anoia in Penedes.  Aged 42 months on the lees, this light yellow wine reveals aromas of bakery, bay leaf and lime, complemented by deep citrus layers. Dry and ethereal on the palate, the vibrant, saline acidity leads to a refreshing and textured mouthfeel. This joyful and vivid sparkling wine boasts a heightened core thanks to the red varieties in the blend.
