Celler Gritelles is based in northeastern Montsant, in a valley between two mountain ranges, Serra de la Gritella and Serra de Montsant. The wines showcase a collection of vineyards above 400m elevation, on a variety of soils (clay, limestone, slate and pebbles). This classic, 100% Macabeo, Catalan brisat (skin-contact) wine, which takes its name from the nearby Siurana river, gets a 28-day spontaneous fermentation in stainless steel tanks with indigenous yeasts, and ages for one year in French oak. No sulphites added. David Williams: Intense apricot and macerated herbs, plums: very Mediterranean. Brisk and tangy palate with just a touch of grip and savoury notes from lees contact; very good spicy-pithy length. Matthew Forster MW: Bright gold colour. Crab apple and pine resin aromas. Persistent baked pear, nougat and ginger spice on the palate. Luis Gamiz: Pronounced aromas of hay, smoke and toast. Complex, with moderate, refreshing acidity. Round and elegant, building to a lovely, flinty mineral finish.
