The 100% Garnacha Blanca harvested in early September from old bush vines cultivated in and around the village of Capçanes in Montsant.
As an orange wine, it is produced with extended skin contact during vinification of the white grapes, more usual in red wine making. After a 15 day maceration on the skins, fermentation is carried out at a controlled temperature (16ºC) in stainless steel tanks and lightly pressed afterwards. The wine is then aged on its lees before a light fining prior to bottling.
A delicious wine made from 100% Garnacha Blanca grapes with an intense golden colour and amber reflections due to the time on skins; the nose is reminiscent of ripe peach, apricot and floral notes, whilst the palate displays the textural appeal of the variety, orchard fruit characters, some spice, some tannins from the skins and good acidity.
It's not a quaffer but of its style i really like it, was as good a match as some big Spanish reds with some chargrilled Iberico pork presa. Would be good with more savoury Paella and similar rice dishes too.
