2020 Raventós i Blanc, Conca del Riu Anoia, de Nit (RT94) In 2020 the de Nit bottling is a blend of 44% Xarello, 39% Macabeo, 12% Parellada and 5% Monastrell, Raventós is committed to being a 100% biodynamic estate – yes certified organic and a practicing biodynamic operation – focusing on use of indigenous varieties of grapes exclusively. This is a delicious, highly affordable rose sparkler that I found utterly fantastic and a Hot Pick! The gorgeous bouquet is built on a terroir-based, multidimensional foundation of smokey brioche, tangerine zest, creamy polenta and mineral dust, all of which I find highly attractive. In this combination they are mind blowing! The palate is round and sumptuous, the gravitational deliciousness keeps pulling you back for another sip after sip. This is another marvelous vintage for the overachieving de Nit and a bona fide Hot Pick superstar. Do not miss this flamboyantly attractive bottle, you can find it at US retailers in the under $30 range! Drink now-2028(+) Tasted May 2024
