Ravasqueira Grande Reserva 2015: A Time-Honored Masterpiece

In Arraiolos, a land steeped in rich tradition and ancestry where the age-old art of tapestry intertwines with nature, a new treasure emerges: the Ravasqueira Grande Reserva Brut Nature 2015. Much like the renowned filigree pieces, this sparkling wine is the result of meticulous artisanal work, where patience and passion converge to create a masterpiece.

Nine years after harvest, this sparkling wine, crafted exclusively from the Alfrocheiro grape, boasts remarkable structure and balance. The extended aging on lees, coupled with rigorous grape selection, lends it a unique creaminess and structure, complemented by vibrant acidity and notes of crystallized fruit and mint.

Ravasqueira finds in the Alfrocheiro grape the potential for wines of great complexity. The small 1.7-hectare plot, cultivated since 2000, offers the ideal conditions for this variety, which expresses itself uniquely in this sparkling wine. “This is a wine we care for with great affection, like a work of art,” says David Baverstock, Chairman Winemaker at WineStone. “The extended aging and rigorous grape selection have allowed us to create a sparkling wine with a sophisticated gastronomic profile, perfect for accompanying special moments,” he concludes.

The Ravasqueira Grande Reserva 2015 is, therefore, a tribute to tradition and innovation. Each bottle tells a story of passion and dedication, reflected in the complexity and elegance of this sparkling wine. Notes of brioche, biscuit, and a persistent fine bubble invite a unique experience. With a limited production of 3,280 bottles, the Ravasqueira Grande Reserva 2015 is a wine for discerning wine lovers.
