Product Description
Details
Uniquely characteristic - one could even call it "radical" - the wine Clos Lentiscus Perill Blanc is produced in the Garraf mountain range, a subzone of DO Penedès with a distinctively mineral terroir.
A varietal Xarel·lo, this Spanish white wine from bodega Can Ramon Viticultors del Montgròs is sourced from vines planted in 1938 in soils composed of limestone and "sauló" - the local name for granitic sand.
After a meticulous harvest, the grapes were fermented in clay amphorae. Next, this biodynamic white wine was aged in those same containers for 6 months with periodic stirrings of the lees.
Before being bottled, the white wine Clos Lentiscus Perill Blanc 2022 was gently filtered.
Untamed and refreshingly raw, it is advisable to decant this white wine from Massís del Garraf some time before drinking.

Danger
Yes, this is a wine for adventurers. Wild, sort of raw, incredibly alive, made along the lines of the so-called "natural wines". While drinking it, I had the feeling that my palate had been asleep for a very long time and that this wine was reawakening it.
