Raventos Mas del Serral

Raventos Mas del Serral, from the renowned Raventós i Blanc winery in Catalonia, is a sparkling wine known for its unique character and outstanding quality. This special wine is the result of the co-planting of Xarel lo and Bastard Negre grapes since 1954 in the Clos del Serral vineyard. Raventos Mas del Serral has a distinctive microclimate, thanks in part to its location, the gently rising slope and the protection of the nearby Serral forest. The chalky soil, enriched with marine fossils, gives Raventos Mas del Serral a characteristic mineral flavor that sets this wine apart.
