OSTREA 2022
Appellation: PGI CÔTES CATALANES
Grape Varieties: 60% Grenache Gris, 40% Grenache Blanc
Terroir: granitic arenas and quartz altitude plateau (1700 feet elevation) overlooking the Mediterranean Sea and the Roussillon amphitheater. The eroded granite and quartz soils, called "Arènes", are poor, draining, and bring an important aromatic and phenolic concentration to the wine.
The Mediterranean Sea provides thermoregulation to its North exposed terroirs.
Yield: 50 hl / ha
Alcohol: 12.5%
Winemaking: short maceration on the skins, direct pressing. Fermented in concrete vats.
Aging: 8 months on fine lees in concrete vats
Notes: The wines have a maritime freshness, where fresh lemon blends with hawthorn, white pepper and iodine. On the palate, the wines are lively, saline with a real mineral dimension. Matches perfectly with sea food and oysters, or on its own as an aperitif starter !
