In the Glass — Tasting Notes

De la Finca opens with lemon peel, green apple and pear aromas, supported by fennel and toasted almond hints. The palate is mineral-driven, with pronounced saline character and grey clay notes that cut through orchard fruit and citrus backbone. Fine, persistent bubbles carry through to a long, clean finish. At 12% alcohol with crisp acidity and barely a trace of residual sugar, this is precision over richness — built for the table, not indulgence.

The Winery — Raventós i Blanc

One of Spain's most historic winemaking families, with viticultural roots stretching back to 1497. Pepe Raventós now runs the estate, continuing the family's mission to convey tradition, land strength and soil character. In 2012, the producer left the Cava DO to focus on 50 hectares of biodynamic vines in the Conca del Riu Anoia. De la Finca comes from a single plot of old vines called Vinya dels Fòssils, hand-harvested and fermented with indigenous yeasts. Thirty months on lees in bottle have added subtle toastiness and structure without masking essential freshness.

At Your Table — Food Pairing & Serving

This is the aperitif wine for seafood: shellfish, crustacean, sushi and raw fish all shine alongside its saline minerality. Soft cheeses and light salads equally welcome its crisp acidity and fine mousse. Chill well and serve now for immediate pleasure, or cellar confidently for another three to five years as the wine evolves with grace.
