Founded in 1983 by Valentí Roqueta on land owned by his family since the 12th century, Abadal is in Santa Maria d’Horta d’Avinyó in the heart of the young and small DO Pla de Bages, northwest of Barcelona. Roqueta himself chaired the DO from its creation in 1995 until 2015. The family-owned venture focuses on the recovery and promotion of local varieties Picapoll, Sumoll and Mandó. Nuat ('nu' is Catalan for ‘naked’) is a Picapoll-based blend – with 15% Macabeo and 10% Sumoll (fermented off the skins) – aged on the lees for eight months with 30% spending half of that time in oak. Luis Gamiz: Zesty, saline and mineral. Pure. Still quite young, but flinty and tense. Andrew Johnson: A gentle citrus lift on the nose. Very clean and simple. Pierre Mansour: Crystalline purity. Fine, delicate and stylish. A pristinely made wine. Not excessive, just poised and refined.
