North west of Barcelona, in the Anoia Valley countryside surrounded by the Serra of Montserrat Mountains, is a distinguished family vineyard dating back 500 hundred years, where some of the finest, most innovated and inspiring Spanish wines have been cultivated. The Raventós estate.

Manuel Raventós, 20th generation winemaker in this land, created in 1986 the first estate bottled and estate produced sparkling wine in Spain with the first vintage of Raventós i Blanc. An estate where since 1497 the same family has been working, becoming probably one of the longest documented viticulture family tradition in the world.

Manuel’s personal selections of the best wines from each vintage, with his particular blending were the beginning of his series of Manuel Raventós Personal Oenotheque 1986, 1998, 1999, 2000...

Following his father and his grandfather’s dream, Pepe Raventós, 21st generation, joined Raventós i Blanc with the aim to pursue excellence in every detail of the winery, Pepe’s own spirit of innovation and perfectionism inspired him to create a world-class sparkling wine unlike any other- one made distinct by its minerality.

Having worked with world-renowned winemakers, Pepe realized in 2005 that a small portion of the family vineyard, Clos del Serral, was ideally suited to create an exceptional sparkling wine. With this special opportunity, Pepe sought to make the most of it, working this plot as a most precious garden. Bringing back together man, earth, and animal, Pepe returned to the origins of vinification with a contemporary vision. The result is Mas del Serral, a premium sparkling wine prepared to claim its place alongside the world’s finest champagnes.

In 1872 the Raventós family brought Champagne to Spain. Today, Pepe Raventós is bringing Mas del Serral to the world.

Mas Del Serral 2013 21st Generacio, Clos del Serral, Conca del Riu Anoia Barcelona (Wooden Box)
The Wine Advocate
Rating: 96 (5/16/2024)
The sparkling white 2013 Mas del Serral was produced with the field blend of Xarel.lo and Bastard Negre from the Mas del Serral vineyard, 1.92 hectares, that was planted between 1950 and 1954. It fermented in concrete egg, where it matured with lees for nine months. It was put to referment with Champagne yeasts in bottle, where it matured for 100 months. It has a complex nose of gunpowder and dry fish, iron and iodine, characterful, different, with a strong personality. It's a great white wine that happens to have bubbles. It has the elegance of the sandy soils. It's velvety, with abundant, fine bubbles and bright acidity; and 2013 was a cooler and wetter year with a mild August, so the grapes were healthy and ripened slowly and thoroughly. 2,425 bottles and 400 magnums were produced. It was disgorged in February 2024.
