Vineyard
60 years old vines. Organically and biodynamically farmed plots that Joan and co own – collectively 24ha. They’re meticulous viticulturalists to the point of hand-picking out every raisin out of each cluster to ensure freshness, prior to harvest of the dry wines – like a sweet green harvest. Joan also adheres to the biodynamic calendar, as well as using applications that withhold that standard. 300-450m of elevation.
Vinification
Hand-picked, dry-farmed, 70% destemmed, 30% whole cluster, soaks on skins for 24 hours before being racked into inox for native fermentation (3-4 months).
Aging
After resting on lees an additional 3 months, the wine is racked, lightly filtered and bottled.

Tasting Note
The nose is clean with primary beeswax, musk melon, chamomile, Asian pear – fruit complexity far exceeding the expectation of the grape. Garnatxa Blanca elegance refined with a lacy medium body fresh acidity (higher than expected for the variety) honeysuckle, chamomile on palate. Noticable length on a briny finishes and terroir terroir. Incredible textures. Chablisy sunshine.
