Product Description
Details
We present the 2020 vintage of the wine Biu de Sort Blanc, a high-altitude Spanish white wine produced by Celler Batlliu de Sort, a company based in the mountainous region of Pallars Sobirà (Lleida), in DO Costers del Segre.
Made from 85% Riesling and 15% Viognier, the grapes come Finca La Borda, a vineyard with slate soils located at an altitude over 900 metres above sea level.
The winery is committed to implementing environmentally-friendly farming practices, following the guidelines of organic and biodynamic agriculture (non-certified).
Harvest of this high-altitude white wine was performed by hand. The grapes were vinified in stainless steel tanks and aged on its lees for over a period of 10 months.
After that, the white wine Biu de Sort Blanc 2020 was aged for another 14 months in diposits before its commercial release.
This is a very pure, interesting Crianza white wine born on the Catalan side of the Pyrénées.
Additional Information
Additional Information
| Appearance | The white wine Biu de Sort Blanc is medium yellow with some greenish reflections. |
|---|---|
| Nose | This blend of Riesling and Viognier conveys crystalline aromas of white fruit and citrus, along with aromas of flowers, undergrowth, fennel, fine lees and wet earth. |
| Palate | Unctuous and well-balanced, this white wine from Celler Batlliu de Sort suggests some prominent notes of citrus, aromatic herbs, white fruit and petroleum. Great acidity and long finish with some bitter remembrances. |
| Our personal opinion | The uncommon wine Biu de Sort Blanc 2020 will pair excellently with a great Foie Gras from Strasbourg, or with some Bluefin tuna marinated in a Premium Spanish Extra Virgin Olive oil. |

Pirineos white wine
Mouth-watering white from the Iberian side of Pirineos. Texture I find particularly appealing.

Quite pure, with an innuendo of flowers and tropical fruit. Delicious.

An ingenious blend. Viognier brings sexiness and Riesling acidity. The result is very nice. Peaches, tropical fruit, a touch of honey and a long finish.
