The Winery
The history of Codorníu is the story of 18 generations of a vine growing family. In 1872, Josep Raventós made the first bottle of cava, applying the traditional method to a blend of the grape varieties of Penedès: Macabeo, Xarel·lo and Parellada. Codorníu reflects the history, tradition, passion and expertise of a family winery with more than 450 years of history, which today continues to maintain its leading position in the production of quality wines and cavas. His cellars in Sant Sadurní d’Anoia were declared a National Historic Artistic Monument in 1976, as one of the key works of Catalan modernism, created by Puig i Cadafalch.

Vineyard - Viticulture
The grapes used in Selección Familia Raventós are harvested in two very different winegrowing areas.
Quality is the main criterion for the selection. The Pinot Noir grapes come from our own organic vineyards in the region with the most continental climate in the DO Cava, Lleida. Within the new classification of the D.O. Cava, they come from the Comtats de Barcelona zone, subzone Pla de Ponent. This gives an optimal concentration, greater body and intensity of fruity aromas. Harvesting takes place in mid-August and is always done at night, in order to keep the grapes as fresh as possible, preserving the aroma and avoiding oxidation. The Xarel-lo, Macabeo and Parellada varieties come from organic vineyards selected by our viticulture and enology teams in the Penedés area, where these varieties exhibit their most authentic characteristics. They also belong to the Comtats de Barcelona area, although in this case the subzone is Vall d'Anoia-Foix. The Mediterranean climate of this warmer region allows the grapes to ripen earlier, which guarantees a good level of acidity, freshness along with citrus and floral aromas. The harvest of these varieties are harvested in mid to early September.
