Vila Closa, Garnacha Blanca, La Botera, Terra Alta

This dry white wine comes from calcareous clay soil, which gives freshness and minerality. Made from grapes from 2 different plots: one with 30 year old vines (to give structure), and one with 15 year old vines (to give more freshness). Separate vinification in stainless steel vats under controlled temperature between 18-19 °C for 15-20 days. Then blended before maturation: 3 months on the fine lees in stainless steel (of which 2 months with batonnage). Only 25k bottles made.

The DO Terra Alta (high ground), is located southwest of Barcelona. As the name suggests, this wine region is located quite high. This ensures cool nights and that in turn ensures that fine fruit aromas and acids are preserved. Terra Alta is considered the origin of the Grenache blanc. Here it is called Garnacha blanca or in Catalan Garnatxa blanca. In this beautiful area you will find several other interesting wine regions such as Priorat(o) and Montsant. We also have wines from there.
