Josep Mª Raventós i Blanc, founded the CAVA D.O. in 1986 and Raventos i Blanc.
In 2012 we decided to leave the DO Cava, to pursue the dream of a quality Appellation of Origin for our area Conca del Riu Anoia. Origin Conca del riu Anoia, geographically delimited. Estate produced. Native grape varieties. Biodynamic & Organic viticulture. Minimum 18 months of aging. Always vintage.
CONCA DEL RIU ANOIA: 2.654 ha of vineyard 9.736 ha of region surface.
The region was under the Mediterranean 16-20 M years ago Limestone soils with marine fossils. The Anoia River has been eroding its course for millions of years.
Aged for a minimum of 18 months The combination of calcareous soils, traditional varieties and the Mediterranean climate are the key factors for obtaining fresh wines with good acidity and great aging potential.
The Raventós farm is an agricultural organism that encompasses the entire cycle of 50 ha of vineyards, 10 ha of cereals, a small field of olive, almond and fig trees. In addition to two forests, a lake and the Serral hill.
Integrated farm where animal, plant and man work together for the production of sparkling wines.
Bio Synergies: Land, vines, animals and man work together as an agricultural whole. Sustainability. Our farm has become a haven for biodiversity where the forests, lake and river teem with life and make it an extraordinary place.
Polycultures: On the farm we have different polycultures such as olive trees, roses, almond trees and different cereals; all of them help us to maintain the soil with better quality and structure, besides promoting a rich ecosystem. The polycultures that we have allow us to leave the plots at rest for a couple of years to strengthen the life of the soil; in them we have planted mustard, oats or other cereals. Being a self-sufficient farm, with the fruit of the polycultures we obtain food for our own and the farm's consumption.
Raventós i Blanc is a FARM, 100% Biodynamic Viticultur. We make our own biodynamic preparations. We work with manure from our animals, and we sow the covers to structure the soil, 7ha with the help of two horses. In winter our herd of goats and sheep graze on the farm to avoid mowing. Pioneers in animal traction.
