The Vinya del Llac is a vineyard that faces north. The clay soils release water slowly throughout the vegetative cycle and, deep beneath the surface, we find calcareous bedrock with incrusted pebbles, which limit the water reserve, giving the grapes in this flagship plot more structure. The influence of the lake in this symbolic vineyard moderates the climatic conditions, avoids heatwaves and favors long ripening.
Raventos i Blanc de Blancs 2021 has 5 percent of Malvasia from Sitges, and the rest with the traditional native varieties; Macabeu, Xarel-lo and Parellada.
Malvasia a variety that is complicated in viticulture but a jewel in winemaking, since it has a very high natural acidity, thus, it acts as a natural acidifying. It also provides the sparkling wine with volume and aromatically complexity.
