I blogged about coming across the wines of the Royal Monastery of Santa Maria de Poblet earlier. Looking up the information for those wines, I found out that the Cordoniu Raventos group actually includes another Spanish monastery in its portfolio, Scala Dei, of which I had also blogged. This latter also has another estate and wine which I had tried and about which I had also blogged.
Last July I found at the annual Book Fair, that someone had written a book about wines and spiritual formation. In that piece, I mentioned wines being made by monasteries as an idea if I were to think about writing a book about wine and the Church. These two estates in the Cordoniu Raventos group is certainly a good starting point for monastic wines from Spain (though they are both in Catalonia).
