‘This is the project of my dreams’ says Pepe Raventós of his eponymous garage wines. ‘They are the kind of wines that talk straight to your soul.’ Separate to the family business, Pepe experiments with micro-vinifications from four plots on the Raventós estate. Each vineyard is under 2 hectares in size and planted with old, indigenous varieties, Xarel·lo and Bastard Negre. His aim is to produce authentic wines, with a singular purity, using ancestral farming practices and traditional winemaking techniques.
On the nose, this wine is autumnal and savoury, with expressive forest fruit caracter, violets and complexity given by the spicy and earthy undertones. The palate is savoury, elegant and fresh with medium tannins and a pure, lingering finish.
