Info about the wine

1/3 Pedro Ximenez from Lloar, 1/3 Macabeo from Torroja, 1/3 Grenache Blanc from Poboleda from 50-80 year old vines grown at 400-600 m, the Pedro Ximenez on clay, the Macabeo on river rock and the Grenache Blanc on schist.

After the hand harvest, the whole grapes were gently pressed in the basket press, fermented in cement tanks and matured for two years in 500 and 1200 l French oak barrels. The PX was deliberately aged separately oxidatively before blending.

Color

Honey yellow with amber reflections.

Nose

The 2018 Pedra de Guix is a brilliant white wine, you notice that immediately after pouring. Intense aromas of ripe pear, peach compote and honeydew melon flow into the nose, as well as plenty of spice reminiscent of wood smoke, liquorice, salted caramel, salted almonds and freshly brewed coffee.

Palate

The palate is compact and powerful, with incredibly striking, cool and stony minerality. Salty and demanding, it captivates the taster and, for all its power and expression, shows invigorating liveliness and freshness that seems to intensify with each new vintage. A wine that is worth watching over the next few years and that sets standards not only for Spanish white wine.

Be sure to decant and enjoy not too cold from large glasses.
