Product Description
Details
Produced by Vinyes d'Olivardots, a winery based in DO Empordà, Finca Olivardots Groc d'Àmfora is a delightfully geeky Spanish white wine.
A blend of White Grenache, Grey Grenache (known as Garnatxa Roja in northern Catalonia) and Macabeo, the grapes come from from old vines up to 80 years old.
Harvested by hand, after a pre-maceration with the skins this white wine from L'Empordà was transferred into 700-litre clay amphorae, where it was fermented and aged for 4 months.
Not filtered or clarified, Finca Olivardots Groc d'Àmfora 2022 was aged for some months in the bottle before its release.
This is a characteristic white wine fermented and aged in amphorae.

Olivardots
This reminds me of some Georgian orange wines produced in the now famous Qvevri vessels. Earthy, balsamic, slightly tanninc, with tension and inner thrust.
