L'avis des experts
An elegant and subtle Garnacha Blanca from Almonacid de la Sierra grown on limestone soil. Fermented in 500L barrels, tinaja and stainless steel, this is a textural wine with underlying minerality and salinity. Lots of typical varietal aromas of green apple, floral notes and white pepper on the nose while the palate offers great tension. Very fine and direct. 2024 - 2026
The 2022 Garnacha Blanca comes from 35-year-old vines planted in stony, limestone and sandy soils and was harvested at the end of August. It fermented and matured in untoasted barrels, clay tinajas and stainless steel to keep some austerity in the wine. It's young, clean, fruit-driven and varietal with notes of waxy apples and a balanced medium-bodied palate with 13.25% alcohol and good freshness. 4,800 bottles produced. It was bottled in October 2023.
