Dried apples and pears, fresh orange zest, along with delicate notes of light tobacco, white pepper, wet chalk and mace.
Palate
Juicy and supple on the palate, structured by a pronounced tannin framework with an engagingly grippy texture, fine-grained mouthfeel and finely woven acidity.
Character
Ethereally light, marked by terpene-driven spice and a mountain-air freshness – a shimmering, unconventional counterpoint to full-bodied wines.
Pairing
Pairs beautifully with red lentil curry and wild garlic, mackerel tagine with dried apple, or pork chops with parsnips.
Notes
Single-varietal Grenache Gris from extremely steep slopes (760–820 m), spontaneously fermented in amphorae and stainless steel, and vinified without added sulphur.
Tasting note
Colour & appearance
Pale orange with a silky matte sheen and a fine, natural haze.
Nose
A fascinating interplay of fruit and cool minerality. Aromas of dried apples and dried pears meet ethereal orange zest, outlined by light tobacco leaf, white pepper, wet chalk and mace.
Palate
On the palate, the wine feels buoyantly light yet grippy. A distinct, fine-grained tannin structure lends it an invitingly tactile roughness. The refined acidity is seamlessly integrated, the texture both supple and juicy. At just 13% alcohol, its freshness is almost reminiscent of Burgundy, driven by a vibrant mountain-air aromatic profile.
Terroir & origin
The grapes come from a two-hectare vineyard in Gritella, in the northwestern Montsant. Grown at altitudes between 760 and 820 metres on yellow clay soils with a northerly aspect. The extremely cool nights at this elevation preserve natural acidity – a fresh counterpoint to the power of neighbouring Priorat.
Grape variety & vinification
Made from pure Grenache Gris. After four hours of skin contact, the whole bunches are pressed and fermented spontaneously in amphorae as well as stainless steel. The ageing, initiated by architect Alfredo Arribas, follows a strict philosophy of restraint: no oak, no extraction and no added sulphur.
Food recommendations
A versatile partner for boldly spiced dishes. Pairs beautifully with dal – red lentil curry with wild garlic, tajine-cooked mackerel with aubergine, dried apple and ras el hanout, or succulent pork chops with parsnip and prunes.
Special characteristics
An uncompromising orange wine that celebrates the principle of radical restraint. Its dancing lightness and fine tannic structure give it the potential to age gracefully for several years.
