Description
From our Importer: Alta Alella is a family-run producer located just outside Barcelona in the Alella DO. The vineyards are situated on the coastal hills of Serralada de Marina, a unique terroir called 'sauló' - an acidic white granite-based sand with low limestone content, low organic matter and good drainage. Fleeing from standardization, year after year, Josep Maria's aim is to produce 'transparent' wines, where the expression of the grape and the land is clearly communicated in the finished wine. The grapes for this wine come from a single vineyard called 'La Serra' planted in 1978. The Garnatxa vines are trained in the traditional gobelet style and are farmed organically. The grapes are hand-harvested and fermented with native yeasts in stainless steel tanks. The wine is aged for 10 months in concrete tanks and bottled unfined and unfiltered. This wine is a vibrant expression of old-vine Garnatxa from a unique coastal terroir. The wine is light in color, with a bright ruby hue. The nose is elegant and fresh, with notes of red berries, flowers, and a subtle mineral undertone. The palate is light-bodied, with bright acidity, silky tannins, and a long, mineral finish. This wine is a perfect match for a wide variety of dishes, from charcuterie to grilled fish and vegetables.
