Clos Larrouyat Jurançon Sec Comète
Lagravera La Pell Vinyet
The white 2020 La Pell Blanco Parcela el Vinyet is crafted from a 1.41-hectare vineyard planted in 1889, featuring a unique field blend of over ten grape varieties, including Trobat Blanc, Hebén, Sumoll Blanc, Macabeu, Xarel.lo, and more. The grapes, harvested at three different ripeness stages, were destemmed, barely crushed, and fermented with skins in clay tinajas for four months, undergoing malolactic fermentation. The wine matured in a tinaja, a 500-liter acacia barrel, and glass demijohns, some developing a flor yeast layer. The result is a delicate, floral, and distinctly Mediterranean wine with notes of underbrush and fennel. It offers moderate ripeness and alcohol, showcasing complexity, elegance, and freshness with very tasty flavors and an almost salty finish. Austere and mineral, it is strict and straight, making it a remarkable and nuanced wine
