Availability: In stock
The wine Coratge de Cal Pagès Blanc is the only white wine made by bodega L’Antic Magatzem, the personal project of young winemaker Adrià Domènech, a native from Porrera. This wine is one of Adrià’s debut releases.
Made solely from White Grenache, this Spanish white wine from DOQ Priorat is sourced from 5 to 25- year-old vines planted in Les Sentius and El Bosc, two vineyards with llicorella (slate) soils.
This varietal white wine from Priorat was vinified in stainless steel tanks, with a 6-day skin maceration. After that, the white wine Coratge de Cal Pagès Blanc 2023 was aged for 4 months in used French oak barrels. It was bottled unfined and unfiltered.

---|---|
Nose | This varietal White Grenache from Priorat is expressive and characterful, showing a fascinating contrast between the tropical aromas typical of the variety and the austere notes from the llicorella soils, combined with notes of citrus and Mediterranean herbs and some spicy suggestions of clove and turmeric. |
Palate | This wine of the L’Antic Magatzem winery is structured and substantial, with a gently unctuous texture, a deeper layer of charcoal and metal and a racy acidity carrying its weight, ending with a spicy and balsamic note. |
Our personal opinion | The wine Coratge de Cal Pagès Blanc 2023 just oozes charisma. |
