A distinctive, uncompromising Garnacha Blanca from sustainably farmed vines in Terra Alta. Subtle honeyed, apricot, nutty aromas lead to a focused, mineral palate, with impressive depth of fruit: preserved lemon, grapefruit and apple. Fermentation in oak and seven months on lees gives a savoury richness to the texture, balanced by lively acidity and saltiness on the finish.
