About Raimat El Niu de la Cigonya

Every year, when the summer is over, the natural instinct of European storks takes them to Africa. However, more and more adult birds are deciding to shorten their journey and spend winter in Spain. Because the climate is not too cold, they nest and breed in high places like towers, bell towers and tree tops to protect themselves from predators. They are often found in small towns with agricultural crops, meadows and ponds that allow them to find the variety of prey that make up their diet. They seem to feel quite at home in Raimat, an estate located in the province of Lleida (Catalonia). This estate was acquired and rebuilt by the Raventós family (owners of Codorníu) in 1914, and they are known for working with sustainable viticulture, minimising the use of chemical products, reducing pollution and optimising production methods. These are things that this friendly and familiar bird appreciates.

They are regularly seen in Raimat, so it is no surprise that the winery has created a wine with the name Raimat El Niu de la Cigonya (“the stork’s nest” in Catalan). A white wine from D.O. Costers del Segre made with the Chardonnay, Albariño and Xarel·lo varieties. The grapes come from three different vineyards that are worked according to organic principles and certified by the international body Bureau Veritas. Harvested at night to avoid oxidation, each variety is vinified separately. Fermentation is carried out with native yeasts in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature (16-18º C). The wine then remains on its lees for about 4 months and then spends 9 months in French oak barrels. Then the final blending takes place under the expert supervision of the winemaker.

Three different varieties treated separately to achieve a common goal of freshness and fruitiness with a subtle touch of oak. This is Raimat Niu de la Cigonya, a perfect wine to enjoy the summer and shorten the winter.
