Grenache Blanc (Garnacha Blanc), Macabeo, Malvasia
Clear amber with pink/copper reflexes. Fresh nose of white fruit such as pear and quince giving way, to the sweeter aroma of honey, at the same time a distinct chalkiness can be detected. Well structured, mouth watering wine of firm body, well balanced acidity and silky tannins. Distinct, long, slightly saline finish that remind us of its limestone origin. Its slightly saline finish calls for seafood: grilled oysters, Ceviche, a delicious Sea bass baked in salt or smoked Wild Salmon.
