Tros Blanc Saleras 2015 1500ml Magnum

Wine Description for Tros Blanc Saleras 2015 1500ml Magnum by Alfredo Arribas

Colour & Appearance

Luminous straw yellow with golden reflections, clear and gleaming – a visual promise of density and maturity.

Nose

A fascinating aromatic profile that impressively demonstrates Montsant’s potential for surprises. The nose reveals an elegant exoticism: honeydew melon, papaya and pomelo merge with nutty notes of roasted grain, barley malt and cornflakes. Subtle spice notes of bay leaf, white pepper and turmeric join in, evoking steaming basmati rice – complex and multifaceted.

Palate

Powerful yet elegant, this Grenache Blanc rolls across the palate with creamy texture. The yellow-fleshed fruit unfolds with impressive fullness and maturity, before a mineral austerity takes over. The texture is broad and present without being intrusive – a wine of remarkable precision at 14.5% alcohol.

Finish

The aftertaste surprises with a turn towards the mineral: mouth-watering and with fine salinity, the wine lingers long. An echo that honours the austere origins and testifies to outstanding craftsmanship.

Terroir & Origin

The grapes come from the old, austere vineyard site El Masroig in Montsant, supplemented depending on the vintage by the Notaria site with slightly heavier soils. These stony terroirs fundamentally shape the wine’s mineral character.

Grape Variety & Vinification

100% Grenache Blanc from old vines. Alfredo Arribas vinifies with precise feel for balance between fruit fullness and mineral tension – craftsmanship at the highest level.

Food Pairing Recommendations

The power and complexity of this white wine demands equally characterful dishes: gratinéed cauliflower with smoked sheep’s cheese, pan-fried king prawns with red pepper sauce or even grilled lamb loin with wild garlic polenta – a white wine that pairs effortlessly with meat dishes.

Special Features

The magnum bottle (1500ml) underscores the single-vineyard character. An extraordinary example of Grenache Blanc that proves Montsant has far more to offer than just red wines.
