Granit 2023
Produced by the always curious, indefatigable winemaker Josep Grau, the white wine Granit comes from DO Montsant.
Made solely from White Grenache, this varietal Spanish white wine is sourced from three parcels with granite soils and high wind exposure, located at an altitude around 450 metres above sea level.
Once in the cellar, the grapes were gently pressed for 7 hours. After that, the wine Granit 2023 was fermented and then aged for 7 months in 2,000-litre Austrian and German oak vats.
Aerate this white wine from Montsant 30 minutes before drinking.
We suggest pairing this Crianza white wine with fish recipes and white meat dishes.
| Appearance | The white wine Granit is pale yellow with some greenish glints. |
|---|---|
| Nose | This varietal White Grenache is rich and complex. The granite soils show in some clean-cut, crisp mineral notes which contrast with those from the neighbouring Priorat, darker and more expansive. Fruit is of great quality, ripe but not juicy, with some spicy nuances, remembrances of flowers, and Mediterranean garrigue. |
| Palate | As usual with the wines produced by Josep Grau, this is more about subtlety and nuance than sheer power. Clean, pure and smooth-textured, with a first-class acidity and a long finish with remembrances of underbrush, white fruit, and some earthy and mineral undertones. |
| Our personal opinion | Elegant, suggestive and fresh, the wine Granit 2023 is an excellent take on White Grenache. |
