Region: Catalonia
Appellation: Terra Alta
Grapes: Vernatxa Blanca (Grenache Blanc)
Vinification: Stainless steel, with a few days on skins, so a ‘light’ orange.
Tasting:
An explosively rich nose. Orange marmalade, some dried apricot, saffron, and a salty seaside element on the background. The palate is equally rich, lower in acidity and dense, viscous. The fruit is rich, and there may be a bit more sugar than our other wines by the glass. The finish is dry, however, very salty, and some grenache bitter herbs come through at the very end.
