Availability: In stock
The "Vi de Vila" (Village Wine) Bellmunt Blanco was produced by the Mas d’en Gil winery from an interesting blend of White Grenache and Viognier. The vines were planted between 2000 and 2008 in sandstone and limestone soils near the town of Bellmunt del Priorat, in the southern part of DOQ Priorat.
Separately vinified, both grape varieties were macerated and fermented in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. After that, this Spanish white wine was blended and bottled. The wine saw no oak whatsoever.
Thus, what one should expect to find Bellmunt Blanco 2020 is a youthful expression of terroir with a lively, fruit-driven character.
Pair this organic white wine with fish dishes, oriental cuisine, or sautéed vegetables.

Nose | This blend of White Grenache and Viognier is vibrant and cheerful. Aromas of candied orange rind, lime and Mediterranean garrigue, with some tropical remembrances and a mineral note which becomes more present as time passes. |
Palate | Supple enganging and transparent, this wine from Mas d'en Gil has a zesty acidity which carries the wine all the way through the end. Long finish, with remembrances of citrus, underbrush and tropical fruit. |
Our personal opinion | An uncommon combination of youthfulness and finesse defines Bellmunt Blanco 2020. |
