Product Description
Details
The white wine Blanc d'Orto is produced by oenologist Joan Asens, one of Spain's top winemakers.
Produced by the Orto Vins winery, this Spanish white wine is a varietal White Grenache from DO Montsant.
The grapes comes from 5 little parcels, with a total surface of less than 2 hectares, scattered across the towns of El Masroig and Torre Fontaubella. The 40 to 60-year-old vines grown in limestone, sand and gravel soils.
Harvested and carefully destemmed, the grapes were vinified in stainless steel tanks. After a brief period of skin maceration, Blanc d'Orto 2020 was fermented and subsequently aged on its lees for 6 months.
Prior to bottling, this white wine from Montsant was delicately filtered.
Pair with oily fish recipes, white meat and creamy cheeses.
Additional Information
Additional Information
| Appearance | The white wine Blanc d'Orto is medium yellow with some steely and greenish tinges. |
|---|---|
| Nose | Expressive and ever-evolving, this White Grenache carries aromas of ripe white fruit, white flowers, sweet spices and butter. In the background there are hints of pastry, dry fruit and aromatic herbs. |
| Palate | Savoury and unctuous, this wine from Orto Vins is smooth-bodied and delicately textured. Mediterranean shrubland, subtle mineral overtones and flavours of apples, lime, pastry and dry fruit. Substantial volume, great freshness and tense acidity. Long, complex finish. |
| Our personal opinion | Seductive and very well-crafted, Blanc D'Orto 2020 is another excellent wine by Joan Asens. |

A wine with a great structure. Enjoyable, but it needs some years to unfurl.

garnacha white
White garnacha is a multifaceted grape. Here I've found one of its deepest expressions. In 4 years it will be a 95 point wine.
