Macabeu makes airy, delicate wines with white flower and fruit aromas. Grenache Gris provides richness, power, spices and fruit. Grenache Blanc completes the blend with its roundness, refined aromas, and a structure of acidity found in the early level of ripening that we seek during the harvest.
Harvesting by hand in 25kg crates. The harvest date is chosen after grape tasting, as a compromise between the aromatic peak and the desire to preserve the ‘acidity’ capital. Gentle pneumatic pressing. For half of the blend, fermentation in 600-litre barrels followed by regular yeast stirring until the end of the year. Fermentation in temperature-controlled concrete vats for the other half. Maturation in new and second-fill 600-litre French oak barrels for nine months, and in vats.
Beautifully radiant golden yellow colour. Intense nose combining fresh fruit (white peach, exotic fruit) with white flower and toasted aromas. Well-rounded with a delicate liquorice touch on the palate, good balance of acidity, giving it freshness, and a richness characteristic of Mediterranean wines. A lingering finish with fruity touches.
