La Bèstia Blanca 2021 White Wine

ORIGIN • DO EMPORDÀ •

At the foot of the Albera, in stony and mineral terrain, where the Tramontana takes center stage. The White Grenache rises like a beast to overcome all obstacles. In struggling vineyards where the grape is very concentrated and shallow is where it wins and becomes an unstoppable beast.

VARIETIES

100% White Grenache.

ELABORATION AND AGING

Harvest at the optimum point of ripeness. Fermentation at a controlled temperature (18ºC) to extract a very good floral and fruity content. Once fermented, a small part of the wine is aged 2 months in new French Allier oak barrels with the lees. This process is accompanied by a weekly Battonage to improve its structure, increase creaminess and provide more aromatic complexity. Once the aging is finished, it is clarified, stabilized and filtered to be able to bottle.

TASTING NOTES

Intense and bright yellow color. The aromas of white flowers stand out that are in balance with the fruity notes of yellow peach and apricot. In the background you can notice aromas of tropical fruit such as pineapple. Thanks to the small part of the wine aged in barrels, subtly appear aromas of vanilla, almond, toasted and wood. Aromatically it is complex and very pleasant.

In the mouth the floral, fruity and vanilla aromas intensify accompanied by a good acidity and creaminess that seduces you. Persistence is long, silky and pleasant. It is a wine with a bestial intensity. If you submit to the will of the White Beast you will receive a whiplash of pleasure.
