General Information
Vol d'Ánima Raimat Blanco Ecológico 2023 is made from a coupage of chardonnay and xarel·lo grapes, harvested separately at their optimal ripeness. The pressing of the must and the fermentation are also carried out independently and at controlled temperature, and at the end of this process, the final blending is done to create a sensational young Catalan white that preserves the varietal aromas and gains structure, complexity, and creaminess after vinification.
Since its foundation in 1914, Raimat has always been at the forefront of the wine sector. José Raventós acquired desert lands in the northwest of Lleida that no one had bet on until then. These lands, bordering Somontano and presumably barren for any cultivation, would become, 50 years later, the key to the success of one of the most illustrious names in the wine world. Years later, the family that owns the Grupo Codorníu turned Raimat into the true driving force behind the D. O. Costers del Segre, always betting on innovation, technology, and sustainability.
Conceived under a continental climate with Mediterranean influences, Vol d'Ánima Raimat Blanco Ecológico 2023 is the ideal pairing for all kinds of tapas and creamy rice dishes, as well as white fish and seafood.
Tasting notes
Vol d'Ànima de Raimat Blanco Ecológico has a pale yellow color with greenish reflections that reveal its youth and freshness.
Nose with great complexity marked by notes of yellow fruit (peach) and white fruit. Citrus and tropical aromas stand out, increasing the freshness, along with a background of white flowers and Mediterranean aromatic herbs.
On the palate, it is fresh and young, structured and creamy. The notes found on the nose reappear on the palate with a very long finish.
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.
