PRODUCTION
The grapes are selected, destemmed and macerated for three days. Then the must is pressed gently with the remaining stems. The fermentation begins spontaneously, partly in stainless steel tanks, partly in French oak barrels of 225-litres capacity.
TASTING
The nose shows the marked personality of the Priorat’s White Grenache, with its cha- racteristic notes of white fowers, herbs and fruit skin. The palate is unctuous, with citrus and smoky favours. The fnish is very persis- tent and offers a surprising and lovely sweet touch. It is the warm and charming footprint of the Pedro Ximenez variety, in interesting balance with a fresh and genuine minerality.
FOOD PAIRING
It is perfect as a drink between meals, as an aperitif and as an accompaniment to seafood dishes. It offers many options with less obvious recipes, such as seasonal proposals: spring mushrooms, early peas, winter ‘xato- nadas’ (a Catalan salad with escarole, codfsh, black olives...), or the fat sardines of October.
