In a case of terroir trumping grape variety – altitude is the key factor in this extraordinarily fresh Garnacha Blanca, plus careful work in the vineyard and the winery.
The result is a vibrant, mineral wine with a lovely rich mouthfeel from daily batonnage
"New favourite white wine I’ve had in a long time — fantastic. Is Garnacha Blanca the grape of the future?
Tons of texture, creamy and rich, ample apple custard notes with fresh lemony citrus on the back palate and loads of minerality — drinks like a far more expensive Chardonnay.
The rich white wine of my winter dreams, all from a small single biodynamic vineyard up in the high hills of Penedès.
An amazing project by Roc and Leo Gramona, doing really important work (alongside some of our other bright stars in Penedès) to investigate and imagine what a pre- (and maybe post-) Cava landscape might look like, making still wines from the incredible vineyard sites dotted around one of my favourite terroirs.
Climate change and industrialization have been huge challenges here, and its heartening to see new narratives being born that draw on the rich heritage of tradition to help to shape a vision of a region in flux towards an exciting future." - Brad Hall, Cosecha Sommelier
