Product Description
Details
A varietal White Grenache wine, L’Avi Arrufí Blanc, together with its red sibling L’Avi Arrufí, pays homage to the founder of bodega Celler Piñol from DO Terra Alta.
A single parcel Spanish white wine, the grapes were sourced solely from Finca Mas Vell, a parcel with clay-limestone soils planted with 65-year-old vines and situated in the village of Batea, Tarragona.
The hand-harvested grapes were fermented in new French oak barrels at a temperature of 20ºC. After that, L'Avi Arrufí Blanc 2021 was aged in the barrels for 7 months with periodic stirrings of the lees.
We suggest that you aerate this white wine fermented and aged in oak some time before drinking.
Pair this white wine from Terra Alta with risottos, fish dishes, creamy cheeses and white meat recipes.
Additional Information
Additional Information
| Appearance | The white wine L’Avi Arrufí Blanc is medium yellow with some golden tinges. |
|---|---|
| Nose | This varietal White Grenache is quite intense. Luscious aromas of orchard fruit, ripe pineapples and white flowers, with a touch of smoke and spices, a hint of aromatic herbs and some mineral undertones. |
| Palate | The palate of this white wine from Celler Piñol is lush and flavourful. Although its complexity is still unfurling, the wine already shows some depth and intricacy, with a steely acidity keeping everything in the right place. Very long finish with rich suggestions of spices, smoke and ripe white fruit. |
| Our personal opinion | A white wine with some very good years ahead of it, L'Avi Arrufí Blanc 2021 can compete with, say, some illustrious Chardonnays twice o thrice its price. |

Astounding
Like a very good 1r Cru Burgundy, but more earthy and herbal.
