Raventós I Blanc Textures De Pedra 2018

Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate

The toasty 2018 Textures de Pedra wants to be the expression of the Mediterranean grapes in the Penedès climate, a blanc de noirs with 50% Xarel·lo Vermell, 25% Sumoll and 25% Bastard Negre (the local strain of Graciano adapted to the place, identified already in the 1920s), a powerful and energetic wine with light and electricity, moderate alcohol and very good acidity. The wine is velvety and dry, with zero sugar and a stony sensation in the palate. It matured in bottle sur lie for no less than 42 months. 10,500 bottles and 717 magnums. It should develop nicely in bottle.
