The winery is located between coastal hill and Montserrat in the Penedes region of Spain near Barcelona . The woods and vineyard are 90 hectares and have been passed down to a Raventos heir since 1497. This cellar was created in 1986 and the symbol of the brand is the oak tree shown above in the center of the winery – a faithful witness to a commitment to a land and faith in ideas that have been perfected over more than 500 years.
