Every time I drink this wine, I cannot help but admire its clean and pure profile, the precision and linearity without austerity, the freshness balanced by ripe lemon fruit, the earthy length. Not profound or very complex, but really attractive and stylish.
Old vine, partially aged in oak barrels. Quite a deep colour, vinous, mineral, good depth, spices, soft, good length. Very different from the usual fragrant, floral profile of Grenache Blanc. Unusual but the quality is undisputable.
Modern and accessible style, ripe fruit, medium weight, soft tannins, good typicity, clean flavours, good length. Drinking well already, should last until 2020.
