Virtually a varietal White Grenache sourced from young and old vineyards, Coret de Cal Bessó is nuanced by a dollop of old-vines Macabeo.
Produced by Celler Cal Bessó, this Spanish white wine comes from vineyards located in the village of Els Guiamets, DO Montsant.
The grapes were picked by hand and subsequently fermented both in new 500-litre French oak barrels and stainless steel tanks. After that, Coret de Cal Bessó 2020 was aged for 4 months in the barrels.
Smooth and easy-to-drink, this white wine fermented and aged in oak will pair well with light dishes and creamy cheese.
