Low-temperature fermentation, with slight barrel ageing to enhance its aroma. Despite being a low acid grape, Casa Mariol does a good job at mainting freshness, which keeps the intense rasberry flavours tasting freshly picked. On the other hand, theres some dried fig, toffee and spice to colour the fruit with savoury qualities.
In the goldilocks zone, with medium freshness and ripeness, It's the perfect choice for someone who just wants something tasty. Rasberry, strawberry and millions of peaches, peaches for me.
Casa Mariols take on something more reminiscent of Catalunya, while Cariñena (Carignan) can be a hard grape to find sometimes, in Terra Alta it's something the locals drink everyday. The grape has a unique cured meat quality, which marries with tobacco leaf scents. With tart cranberry and rasberry fruit it's hard not to fall in love.
Rich and full bodied White Grenache grapes from Catalunya. Grown on 60-year old vines in sandy soils on the Mediterranean Sea for a complex, elegant wine.
100% Vernatxa Blanca (White Grenache) from Terra Alta DO, west of Barcelona. A blend of two 'passes' in the vineyards - some grapes picked early for vibrant acidity, others picked later for body and potential alcohol - the result is a fresh expression of this grape.
Skin-fermented Vernatxa Blanca (White Grenache), from vines rooted in petrified sand dunes. Aged 6 months in 500 litre oak barrels. Unfiltered, natural wine from the Ferré brothers of Catalonia, this is a saline, textured, age-worthy expression of White Grenache.
