Product Description
Details
Coming from DO Costers del Segre, Catalonia's westernmost Designation of Origin, the wine Cérvoles Blanc is a blend of Macabeo and Chardonnay sourced from vineyards about 25 years of age planted at altitudes between 700 and 800 metres, in an area called Serra de Llena. The weather conditions cause the grapes to develop a thicker skin, a fresher character and higher tannin content, resulting in fruit of exceptional quality.
Manually harvested and carefully selected, the two grape varieties of this Spanish white wine were separately vinified in the facilities of the Cérvoles Celler winery.
Cold-soaked and gently pressed, the Macabeo must was fermented in 3,000-litre oak vats, and the Chardonnay completed the process in new French oak barrels. After that, both wines were aged for a period of 8 months.
Then the white wine Cérvoles Blanc 2021 was blended, gently filtered and bottled.
Decant this white wine from Costers del Segre 20 minutes before drinking.
This is a small-batch organic white wine.

Additional Information
| Appearance | The organic white wine Cérvoles Blanc is deep straw with some steely tinges and golden glints. |
|---|---|
| Nose | Complex and intense, this Crianza white wine smells of ripe pineapples, mango and apricot, combined with some wooden notions, sweet spices and smoky notes. As it opens, this blend of Macabeo and Chardonnay also suggests a buttery note and a touch of lees over a citrusy background. |
| Palate | This wine from Cérvoles Celler is structured and creamy, with good balance between fruit and oak and a noteworthy acidity. Flavours of baked apples, nougat candy, sougar-coated citrus and dry fruit. Long, fruity finish with an elegant mineral remembrance. |
| Our personal opinion | Elegant, age-worthy and suggestive, the white wine Cérvoles Blanc 2021 will pair excellently with medium-aged and aged cheeses and white meat recipes. |

exquisite
This wine has weight and a big structure. However, the main point is the balance, which I found no less than exceptional. Acidity is also great.

This wine reminds me of some great California Chardonnays. It is dense, smoothly texture, very rich and sturdy. However, it has a fresher and deeper dimension, a sort of feeling of place. Excellent, and with some very good years ahead.
