Winemaker Notes
The old vineyard of white garnacha at high altitude gives us a wine of a high concentration and an exceptional finesse. The nose plays between the white fruit in bloom and the ripe white fruit, with the light strokes of the wood, well integrated. Wide texture and enveloping on the palate. Fleshy but fresh, with lively acidity and a long finish.

James Suckling
A perfumed yet chalky nose with nectarines, white blossom, melon and stones. Almost full-bodied with an elegant expression of white fruit and fresh, moderate acidity. From organically grown grapes.
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.
The highest wine growing zone in Spanish Cataluña, Terra Alta is south of Priorat and Montsant. Here growers are following the trends of Priorat, recovering Garnacha blanca vines for white wines and focusing on quality red blends.
