Product Description
Details

The 2022 vintage of Bàrbara Fores Blanc is, as usual, made solely from White Grenache, the staple grape variety of DO Terra Alta, Catalonia's southernmost wine region.

It is produced from non-irrigated vineyards located near Gandesa, the capital city of the region.

Tha 2022 harvest began on August 12. Once completed, this white wine from Terra Alta of Celler Bàrbara Forés was vinified in a traditional manner.

Before fermentation, it was cold-soaked for 24 hours. After that, Bàrbara Forés Blanc 2022 was fermented in stainless steel tanks and aged on lees for 4 months.

In order to preserve its varietal character, this organic white wine was not aged in oak.

Appearance

The white wine Bàrbara Forés Blanc is medium straw with some steely tinges.

Nose

Intense notes of lemon, pomelo, pineapple and banana. In the background, this varietal White Grenache suggests remembrances of aromatic herbs, white flowers, aniseed and vegetables. Absence of wooden aromas is most welcome.

Palate

With a fresh and extremely pleasant entrance, this young white wine of Celler Bàrbara Forés has a creamy texture and a silky body. Crisp acidity and great freshness. Notes of citrus, freshly cut grass, aniseed and almond blossom. Long, slightly bitter finish.

Our personal opinion

A fresh and substantial white, Bàrbara Forés Blanc 2022 combines excellently with white meat, rice casseroles and creamy cheeses.
