Traditional Ratafia de l'Àvia | Buy at Wonderful Wines

Ratafia de l'Àvia is a liquid tribute to homemade recipes crafted with patience and love. Matured traditionally under the summer sun and night sky, this bottle evokes the popular wisdom of Catalan grandmothers. For this reason, it is the perfect choice to rediscover warm family memories during after-dinner gatherings. Its careful selection of botanicals makes it an essential treasure for any traditional celebration.

It displays a beautiful dark chestnut color, remarkably clean and with intense iodized highlights that fill the glass with brilliance. On the nose, it unfolds like a true journey back in time thanks to a sweet and highly comforting fragrance where green walnut blends perfectly with an aromatic bouquet of lemon verbena, thyme, and a final hint of cinnamon. On the palate, it stands out for its silky texture, offering a velvety mouthfeel and a magnificent balance between sugary sweetness and the bitter touch of forest herbs, leaving a very pleasant, long finish full of childhood memories.

This deeply traditional liqueur is ideal for accompanying the sweetest after-dinner moments. In fact, it pairs wonderfully with the classic San Juan cake (coca), traditional almond carquinyolis, or sweet fritters. Likewise, it combines exceptionally well with desserts featuring roasted nuts or a traditional crema catalana. Finally, if you want to try a unique contrast, serve it alongside pieces of dark chocolate with a touch of sea salt or creamy goat cheeses.
