El Tòfol 2022
Beschrijving
Deze wijn is net zo delicaat als intens. Een Macabeo-delicatesse die onze zintuigen in elke fase verbaast. Fris, evenwichtig en met een oneindig bewaarpotentieel. Een witte wijn die spreekt en ademt uit de Penedès, meer bepaald uit El Tòfol, het perceel dat Leo en Roc Gramona bezitten in Sant Sadurní d'Anoia en dat dateert uit 1969

Waxy, phenolic and bursting with yellow fruits. So very Macabeo and absolutely delicious! Already one of the best varietal Macabeo wines in the entirety of Catalunya. 2024-2034
The single-vineyard Macabeo 2022 El Tòfol comes from a plot they own in the lieu-dit of Font Jui in the village of Sant Sadurní d'Anoia, their other white from their own vineyards. It's from 1.1 hectares planted in 1969 at 200 meters above sea level on limestone, clay and silt soils, worked organically and biodynamically but without mentions on the label. It started fermenting in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts and finished in used 500-liter barrels, where it matured for nine months with bâtonnage. It has a moderate 11.5% alcohol and very good freshness and acidity, with amazing parameters—a pH of 2.95 and 7.27 grams of acidity (tartaric acid). It has a vibrant palate with lively acidity and almost effervescent flavors and is pungent and surprisingly fresh for the very warm and dry year. These are the first grapes they harvest to keep the acidity from the Macabeo. 3,802 bottles produced. It was bottled in June 2023.
