Raimat sales data

Appearing in Barcelona's La Vanguardia newspaper on May 26th was a news item on the 2005 sales data for the Raimat winery. This Costers del Segre D.O. winery's sales grew by 2% from the year prior to 22.7 million euros.

65% of their sales went to the Spanish market and the rest was exported, with the leading markets being the Scandinavian region and Canada.

Raimat produces still wines (85% of their production) and sparkling wines. These sparkling wines are not cava, but are designated VECPRD or Vino espumoso de calidad procedente de un region denominado, that is to say: quality sparkling wine from a designated appelation. The reason for this is that Raimat makes their white sparkling wines using Pinot Noir, a variety that the Cava D.O. only allows to be used in rosé cavas.

Recently Raimat did a major make-over of their label presentation and are now introducing a new Syrah.
