Roig Parals, Camí de Cormes, Empordà, Spain, 2016

A partly barrel-fermented blend of 100 year old Macabeu with 20% Grenache Blanc, grown on sand and alluvial soils. This haunting white wine has typically Catalan aromas and flavours of straw, dry grass and wildflowers. Pure, fine-grained and elegant, with impressive old vine depth and tenacity.
