Winemaker Notes
Brilliant, straw yellow with greenish highlights. Mineral aromas appear first, underlain with notes of white flowers, tropical fruit such as mango, stone fruit (nectarine) and a more citrus touch of ripe grapefruit. Broad wine on the palate, full of texture and continental character.

COMMENTARY: The 2017 Raimat Saira is a spot-on Albariño. TASTING NOTES: This wine offers expansive aromas and flavors of spices, earthy notes, and clean rusticity. A suggestion of chalk and tart citrus in the finish make it perfect with grilled prawns. (Tasted: July 11, 2020, San Francisco, CA)

Raimat is the story of a dream. The dream of a family that put all their effort and passion to turn an inert land into a sea of vineyards.
Where many only saw a desert, Manuel Raventós imagined in 1914 what would later become a lively property of almost 8,000 acres of vineyards.
After the first harvest in 1917 -7 baskets and 1,000 pounds of grapes-, the Raimat winery was built in 1918, being the first concrete building in Spain. This pioneering spirit has remained in the company, with the introduction of grape varieties and cultivation techniques from the United States in the 70’s, and the commitment to organic viticulture during the last 20 years.
The result? Today, Raimat is one of the benchmarks for sustainable viticulture, having one of the largest vineyards in Europe, brimming with life and biodiversity, and a wide range of high quality wines and cavas.
