White Wine AT Roca Costers de Vinya 2019
Availability: In stock
This the new vintage of AT Roca Costers de Vinya from the AT Roca winery, a wine previously known as Floral d'AT Roca.
Produced in the DO Penedès, this Spanish white wine is a blend of mainly Macabeo, complemented with some Malvasia de Sitges and Xarel·lo. The first variety comes from 3 estates planted on the foothills of the Montserrat mountains. The Malvasia comes from a 2-hectare plot in Massís del Garraf, and the Xarel·lo is selected from a 1-hectare piece of land in Costers d'Ordal, a subzone of the DO Penedès. Both grow in soils with a high limestone content.
Separately vinified according to the variety, this organic white wine was fermented in stainless steel tanks for 25 days.
After that, AT Roca Costers de Vinya 2019 was aged on its lees for 4 months. Finallly, this white wine from Penedès was blended, bottled and aged for some weeks before its commercial release.

---|---|
Nose | This enticing white wine aged on lees carries some floral aromas of geranium, orange blossom and gentian, nuanced by notes of peach, citrus and lime. This blend of Macabeo, Malvasia de Sitges and Xarel·lo also suggests a delicate honey remembrance. |
Palate | Fresh, crisp and slightly sweet, this white wine from AT Roca has a creamy texture and a lively acidity. Fruit, flowers and an original salty touch. Pleasant, dimly mineral finish. |
Our personal opinion | Fragrant and fresh, AT Roca Costers de Vinya 2019 is a versatile organic white wine which pairs well with snacks, rice and fish dishes. |
