Finca by Raventos i Blanc

Xarel·lo Xarel·lo is a white grape from Spain, mostly found in Catalonia. It’s the main reason Cava (Spanish sparkling wine) has a bit more kick than Prosecco. The grape makes wines that are crisp and fresh, with high acidity and medium body. You’ll usually taste green apple, citrus, and sometimes a slightly earthy note. Most of the time, Xarel·lo gets blended with other grapes, but lately you’ll also find it on its own. Good for sipping with food, especially seafood or salty snacks. If you like your white wine dry, zippy, and no-nonsense, Xarel·lo’s worth a try.

Parellada Parellada is a Spanish white grape mostly found in Catalonia. It’s all about light, super fresh flavours—think crisp apple and a whiff of lemon. The acidity is lively, making wines taste zippy rather than rich or heavy. It’s rarely used on its own but is a big player in Cava, Spain’s famous sparkling wine. Parellada keeps things refreshing and easy to drink, which is why it’s rarely aged or oaked. If you like your white wine lean and clean, this grape delivers.

Macabeu Macabeu (also called Viura) is a white grape from Spain, mainly found in Rioja and Catalonia. It’s light and easy-going, with crisp acidity and flavours that lean towards apple, pear, and maybe a hint of citrus. The body is on the lighter side, so don’t expect anything heavy or rich. Most famously, Macabeu is a key part of Cava, Spain’s answer to Champagne. It also shows up in fresh, everyday white wines you can drink without thinking too hard. If you want something refreshing and simple, Macabeu does the job.

Raventos i Blanc Raventos i Blanc is a family-run winery in Catalunya, Spain, making sparkling wine that stands out for being super fresh and really well made. They’ve been at it for centuries and broke away from the usual Cava crowd to do their own thing, focusing on local grapes and organic farming. Their style is clean, dry, and food-friendly—don’t expect anything sweet or boring here. Raventos i Blanc’s bubbles are all about showing off the place they come from, not trying to imitate Champagne. If you want Spanish sparkling wine that keeps it real, this is the producer to try.

Catalunya Catalunya is one of Spain’s most diverse wine regions, sitting up in the country’s northeast corner. The climate is a mix of Mediterranean sun and some cooler mountain spots, so you get both rich, ripe grapes and fresher styles. Catalunya is home to Cava, Spain’s go-to sparkling wine, but you’ll also find loads of reds and whites made from grapes like Garnacha, Tempranillo, Macabeo, and Xarel-lo. Wines from Catalunya can range from crisp and fizzy to bold and fruity. There’s no single style—expect everything from easy-drinking table wines to the odd fancy bottle. Overall, if you like variety and good value, Catalunya is a solid bet.

Spain Spain is a monster when it comes to wine. It’s one of the biggest producers in the world, and you’ll find everything from solid everyday bottles to fancy aged stuff. The main regions to know are Rioja (famous for Tempranillo reds), Ribera del Duero (also Tempranillo), and Rías Baixas (where crisp Albariño whites come from). There’s also Cava for fizz and Sherry for some weird but wonderful fortified options. The style can be pretty bold and fruity, especially with reds, but you’ll also get plenty of oak and spice from some regions. Whites are getting better and better, especially from cooler areas. Spanish wine is usually great value, whether you’re after a simple table bottle or something to show off.
