Tasting notes
Cherry red color with ruby reflections.
On the nose, fresh and mentholated aromas stand out, with touches of cocoa and spicy notes (nutmeg, pepper) on a background of aniseed fennel. Ripe black fruit (plum) and red fruit like currant appear, along with notes of blue flowers and dried orange peel.
Great structure on the palate, but with sweet and smooth tannins that provide a pleasant mouthfeel. Sensations of red fruit, cocoa, and spices with a sweet finish.
The winery
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.
