Winemaker Notes
Orange-type white wine (5 days in contact with the skin during fermentation), aged for 6 months in amphora. It is made with the minimum addition of chemicals and technological intervention, both in the cultivation of grapes and in their production.
At first it shows aromas of fennel and other Mediterranean herbs, but when it opens the peach appears very marked. In the mouth it is clean, with good acidity and a very tasty finish.
A white with a red body that will not leave anyone indifferent.
Producing full-bodied white wines, Grenache Blanc can be unctuous and soft or floral and fresh. Some of the finest examples are terroir-driven, age-worthy wines. It is a key ingredient in white Châteauneuf-du-Pape and many white blends across southern France and NE Spain. Somm Secret—Grenache Blanc plays a key role in the vins doux naturels of Rivesaltes and a subsidiary role in those of Banyuls and Maury.
Just north of Spain’s famous Rioja region, Navarra excels in the production of full and fruit-dominant reds and good quality, dry rosés. Garnacha holds most of the land under vine, with Tempranillo coming in second place.
