Frequently asked about De Nit Rose Extra Brut
What does Raventos De Nit taste like?
Mandarin, blood orange, subtle caramel and rose petal on the nose; white raspberry, white cherry, pink grapefruit pith and lemon thyme on the palate. Medium-bodied with high acidity and a long elegant finish.
When should I drink De Nit?
Drink between 0 and 6 years from vintage. The 18-month lees ageing delivers good autolytic depth; the rose colour deepens with age toward salmon and copper tones.
What classification does De Nit have?
Conca del Riu Anoia, the Raventos family's private appellation (created when the estate left DO Cava in 2013). The designation requires estate-grown organic-biodynamic fruit.
What food pairs with De Nit?
Iberian ham, salmon tartare with citrus, salmorejo with serrano and roast duck breast. The Monastrell-touched rose handles Iberian and Mediterranean cooking equally well.
