Why do we love this wine?
In this case, it's all about garnatxa blanca (grenache blanc) from their oldest vineyard, ‘La Serra’, which sits at a lofty 420m above sea level and is meticulously cared for and certified organic. In another critical step towards their dedication to gentle agriculture practices, they’re one of only a handful of members of the International Wineries for Climate Action. Talk about dedication. So, what to expect from this truly remarkable wine... it has the richness you’d expect from grenache blanc, with persistent acid from the higher altitude. Soil-wise it is limestone, and sandy clay, with the limestone shining through via a nervy tension from start to finish. There is a touch of oak, integrated with generous fruit - melon, lemon curd, grapefruit - and highlights of fennel seed and aniseed. Year after year, this wine rivals white burgundy especially for value: they’re overdelivering every time.
