Product Description
Details
Produced by Vinyes d'Olivardots, a winery based in DO Empordà, the wine Finca Olivardots Groc d'Àmfora is a delightfully geeky Spanish white wine.
A blend of 50% White Grenache with Grey Grenache (known as Garnatxa Roja in northern Catalonia), Macabeo and White Carignan, the grapes are sourced from old vines certified organic 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 and 1,000-litre clay amphorae, where it was fermented and aged for 4 months.
Not filtered or clarified, the wine Finca Olivardots Groc d'Àmfora 2023 was aged for some months in the bottle before its release.
This is a characteristic, attractive vegan white wine.

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.
