Production notes

This Wine is made from Garnacha blanca from our vineyards located in la Plana de Gandesa. It is a combination of two harvests: an earlier harvest provides all the freshness and fruit flavours, and a second harvest, about two weeks later, which provides Grenache structure to the wine. After fermentation assemblage is made and wine is aged on its own natural lees thereby obtaining delicacy and fineness.

Tasting notes

Aromas of fresh fruit: pear and melon. Powerful entry, along with overwhelming fruit, lush with a citrus finish granting persistence to the wine.

James Suckling, July 2019 (Vintage 2018)

Rosemary, coriander, nectarines and green apples are out on display here. Quite salty on the palate, which is medium in body but high in acidity. Medium on the finish. Drink now.

Tamlyn Currin, September 2020 (Vintage 2019)

Smells of grapefruit and chalk and elderflowers. The fruit is crisp and the acidity has a crunchy heart but lacy, hazy-soft edges. More floral in the mouth than on the nose. Delicate quinine finish, as if drawn with a quill.

Patrick Desy, June 2021 (Vintage 2019)

Belle découverte que ce blanc de Catalogne fait à 100 % de grenache blanc. Élevé sur lies pendant trois mois et profitant d’un bâtonnage quotidien, le vin offre un nez explosif de fleur, de poire et de pêche. La bouche paraît ample, presque riche, tout en restant précise et fraîche. Finale simple et agréable évoquant des flaveurs d’amande et de melon. Impeccable.
