Raventos i Blanc de Nit Brut 2022 750ml
DescriptionThe 2022 De Nit continues Raventós i Blanc's tradition of excellence, showcasing another stellar vintage from their biodynamically farmed vineyards. This release demonstrates remarkable consistency in their night-harvesting philosophy, producing sparkling wine of exceptional freshness and terroir expression.
The wine displays a crystalline pale straw color with a hint of green, while fine bubbles create an elegant mousse. On the nose, the 2022 vintage shows particular vibrancy—the night harvesting has captured intense aromatics of white flowers, citrus zest, and green apple that seem to leap from the glass. The biodynamic viticulture contributes an almost electric mineral quality, with notes of wet limestone and sea salt. Delicate lees notes add complexity without weight, creating layers that reward attention.
The palate confirms De Nit's status as one of Spain's finest sparkling wines. The texture is simultaneously delicate and intense, with ultra-fine bubbles that carry pure flavors across the palate. The 2022 shows exceptional balance between fruit concentration and freshness, with citrus and orchard fruits lifted by vibrant acidity. The minimal dosage creates laser-like focus, allowing every nuance of terroir to express itself. This is intellectual sparkling wine that also happens to be delicious.
Raventós i Blanc's 2022 De Nit reinforces their position outside traditional classifications as a benefit rather than limitation. Free from appellation restrictions, they've created something unique—sparkling wine that speaks clearly of its origin. The finish is extraordinarily pure and persistent, with mineral and fruit notes that seem to hover on the palate. For those seeking authenticity and terroir expression in sparkling wine, this delivers in spades. A continuing evolution in Spanish sparkling wine excellence.
