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.
70% whole-cluster, with skin-contact maceration smoothed out through malolactic fermentation, laying a foundation for woody, vegetal and creamy characteristics. A wine that really shows Xarel-lo's potential. Gently bitter bruised apple, salt, and honey.
The Benje White from Tenerife comes from old vineyards on the side of Pico de Teide and is 100% Listan Blanco, made with some light maceration and a little bit of flor yeast development.
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.
Pomagrana Blanco is made from Xarel-lo grapes from a seaside vineyard south of Barcelona. The wine is fermented in stainless steel to retain freshness and then partially aged in old barrels with the lees for six months.
