General Information
Raimat El Cim del Turó comes from an exclusive selection of grapes from Raimat's own vineyards. These vineyards, cultivated on poor loamy-clay soils, offer grapes that are harvested at their optimal ripeness for sparkling wine production (around 11% alcohol content). After pressing and once the must is clean, it is transferred to a steel tank, where fermentation will take place at a controlled temperature. The bottles of El Cim del Turó will age in the cellars and in contact with their yeasts for 15 months.
This cava exemplifies Raimat's goal, to be the true expression of the wines of Lleida, a unique and singular area that stands out for the quality of its fruit. The winery's history dates back to 1914, when Manuel Raventós i Domènech acquired land in this magnificent setting. Today, there are 2245 hectares of completely organic vineyards, managed by a winery with a clear commitment to sustainable viticulture and respect for the environment.
Under the D.O. Cava designation, Raimat El Cim del Turó is an organic cava perfect as an aperitif or to accompany all kinds of appetizers and light dishes of meat, fish, and rice.

The winery
When Manuel Raventós acquired the barren lands of the Raimat estate in 1914, in a desert-like area of Lleida, almost bordering the Los Monegros desert, few believed he was in his right mind. Almost 90 years later, Raimat is a thriving estate with 2,100 hectares dedicated to vineyard cultivation, still in the hands of the Raventós family, owners of the Grupo Codorníu.
The first Raimat winery dates back to 1918 and was designed by the eminent modernist architect Rubió i Bellver. A subsequent expansion in 1988, carried out in line with the latest trends in ecological architecture and landscape integration, gave the winery its definitive appearance. Raimat was one of the first brands to cultivate foreign varieties almost unknown in Spain at the time and to adopt trellis training, leaving behind the classic and traditional bush vine.
