Product Description
Details
Produced by Celler Vall Llach, the elegant Aigua de Llum de Vall Llach is a rather unusual wine from Priorat, a land famed for its characterful red wines.
The main variety of this Spanish white wine is Viognier, complemented with a dollop of White Grenache, Macabeo, Picapoll and Escanyavella.
Produced from vines scattered across the towns of Porrera and Torroja del Priorat, the grapes were hand -harvested and fully destemmed. Then they were macerated for 36 days, after which this Priorat white wine was fermented in stainless steel tanks and French oak barrels for 2 months, with daily stirrings.
Once the process was completed, half of the wine was kept for 4 months in the aforementioned barrels, and the rest was transferred to another set of new French oak barrels, where it was also aged for 4 months.
Finally, Aigua de Llum de Vall Llach 2021 was blended and bottled.
The label reproduces a fragment of the poem "Solstici", by the Catalan poet Miquel Martí i Pol, a personal friend of the proprietors of Celler Vall Llach.
Decant 1 hour before drinking.
Only 800 bottles produced.

This wine is comparable to some great Condrieus. The mineral side of it is remarkable.

Viognier
Yes, an amazing Viognier it is. Highly aromatic by nature, here the slate soils multiply its qualities making the resulting wine as intoxicating as a Persian bazaar.
