“The 2022 Brut Nature De La Finca combines 60% Xarel·lo, 30% Macabeu and 10% Parellada from Conca del Riu Anoia, grown on the estate’s calcareous soils. It was aged 30 months on the lees and opens with moderate aromas of lime and lemon pie. Dry, chalky and agile with delicate bubbles, it finishes linear and refreshing, underscored by its calcareous character.”

“The 2022 De La Finca comes exclusively from their own vineyards, 60% Xarel.lo, 30% Macabeu and 10% Parellada, and has the added complexity and nuance from a longer élevage, no less than 30 months in bottle with lees and closed with a cork after refermenting. It's bone dry, not adjusted, and sold as a brut nature. It has a bright, almost fluorescent yellow color and a very expressive nose with notes of yeasts and Mediterranean herbs, subtler, more complex and with smaller, more integrated bubbles and a vibrant, clean and precise palate, super tasty. It comes from the plots on slopes already classified by Pepe Raventós's grandfather. Here, they have lower yields, accentuated by the vintage, which is more marked in the wine, as it's always from the same plots. The whole clusters are pressed, looking for longer aging potential, and fermentation is in concrete, always thinking about a longer-lived wine. It's a generous wine from a generous year.”
