Herència Altés, Benufet Blanca, Terra Alta, Catalonia Spain 2019

A bright, enticing Garnacha Blanca grown on calcareous/clay soils in the Terra Alta. The juice is fermented in concrete barrels and receives two months of battonage which adds a fine-grained bite and some lees complexity. Water white in colour – almost like a Japanese Koshu – there’s sweetness of fruit (white peach, lychee), a lick of wet stone and a rich weight in the mouth.
