Who they are

More than a century of cava

Solà Raventós was already making wine on the Maset de la Verdera estate in 1898. The first bottles of cava followed in 1925.

Since 1987 it has been Pere's own project, built together with his wife, to make cava the way they understand and love it. In 2018 their son Guifré joined them.

They still work in the original building where the first Solà Raventós bottle was made, with processes modernised around it.

  • 1987Pere takes the cellar on as his own project
  • 2018Guifré joins his parents in the cellar

“The cellar is managed by Pere and Guifré, a micro-production of 2 people!”

Solà Raventós

El cava de criança

Time is the main ingredient

Cava is made the traditional way: its second fermentation happens inside the bottle you will open. The yeast that makes the bubbles, the lees, stays in that bottle while it rests in the cellar.

The law sets a minimum for that rest. Solà Raventós goes well past it. Every cava they make spends between two and five years on its lees, which they call “the key factor to achieve their excellence, character and elegance.”

The cellar

One of the smallest cava houses you can visit

About 20,000 bottles a year, from the original building in Sant Sadurní d'Anoia, the town at the centre of cava. They keep production small on purpose, to give each step of the process their full care.

Guests who visit are guided through the tasting by the family.

Reading the label

Three words worth knowing

A Spanish sparkling label says a lot in very few words. Here's what the words on a Solà Raventós bottle mean.

Time

Reserva
At least 18 months on the lees in the bottle.
Gran Reserva
At least 30 months. Two of the three cavas here are Gran Reservas.

Sweetness

Brut
Up to 12 grams of sugar per litre. Dry, with a little roundness.
Brut Nature
Up to 3 grams, with no sugar added after the second fermentation.

Grapes

Macabeo, Xarel·lo, Parellada
The three traditional white grapes of cava, grown around Sant Sadurní. Xarel·lo leads the blend in both Gran Reservas.

The cavas

Three cavas, three lengths of patience

From a fresh Reserva to a Gran Reserva for the main course, each one here has been in the bottle for years.

“Perfect from the beginning to the end of the meal.”

Intense yellow, with a fine, steady bubble. Fruity through the middle, with a light bitter touch at the finish. Part of the base wine is made from the free-run “flower must” so it can age for years without oxidising.

Solà II

Brut Nature · 2020

“A very special cava.”

Golden yellow, clean and bright, with a fine bubble well woven in by its long ageing. Round in the mouth, with notes of nuts, almond above all. A small part of the base wine comes from the previous harvest, for body and a marked character.
