Product Description
Details
Trossos Sants 2015 is a remarkable Catalan white wine produced by Alfredo Arribas.
The wine is a single varietal White Grenache, made from two estates (trossos) of low-yielding vines located in Montsant.
The grapes were harvested by hand in little boxes.
Once in the cellar, they were partially destemmed, crushed and drawn-off.
After that, half of the wine must was fermented in 500-litre French oak barrels and the other half in stainless steel tanks.
Finally, the wine was aged for 5 months in both containers.
Production of less than 6,000 bottles.
Decant 1 hour before drinking.
This wine will considerably improve over the next years. Drink until 2023.

Arribas' wines are among the most elegant, Atlantic-like in Priorat. He knows how to use oak and does not overextract. This garnacha blanca is superb!
