Tasting note
It's a white wine produced with Malvasía Rosada grapes from vines planted in 2011. It doesn't feel it, but it has 14.5% alcohol, with a full body and 8.8 grams of acidity. It has citrus notes and a chalky texture, finishing dry and with some austerity and tastiness from the limestone-rich soils from Garraf. This fermented in a 228-liter barrel, where it matured for four months. What I like here is that every wine is different and has a marked personality.
