Description

Josep Grau Viticultor Granit Garnatxa Blanca 2021

Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Garnacha Blanca from Montsant DO in Spain. From the village of Marca, the vineyards are planted on three terraces with granitic soils. These are terraces lying 450 metres above sea level and greatly influenced by the wind

Taste Profile: Sculpted with fragrant bouquets of white fruit and herbaceous undertones, cradled by a robust granitic essence. On the palate, it is crisp, profound, and exudes sophistication. This wine displays a vibrant acidity, a delightful texture, and an overwhelming mineral opulence.

Winemaking Process: Following selection and destemming, the Josep Grau Granit grapes are gently pressed for about 7 hours. The must obtained is placed in 2.500-litre Austrian oak foudres. There it firstly ferments spontaneously with native yeasts and then rests for 8 months. It is finally bottled, adding only the minimum amount of sulphur

Bright & Mineral Whites

From the limestone character of Sancerre to the green, herbaceous Sauvignon Blanc of Marlborough, this style group often shows off cut grass and wet stone. Often associated with coastal regions or limestone based terroir, these wines are characterised with crisp acidity, mineraiity, citrus tones, with a hint of grassiness
