White

This wine is preponderantly barrel-fermented Garnacha Blanca grown on pure llicorella (slate) with just a dash of Cariñena Blanca; malolactic is blocked.  A bright gold in colour, with scents and flavours of lemon, cistus, fruit blossom and pounded almond.  It’s mouthfilling, stony and plump, with delicious richness yet bright freshness, too; the aromatic elements are very finely drawn and expressive.  An outstanding, fine-dining white wine. (The 2015 is just as good, but needs a little longer to acquire full articulacy.)
