This single vineyard white wine from Priorat is produced from over 60-year-old White Grenache vines planted on steep slate slopes near the village of Poboleda, at 600 metres of altitude.

Hand-picked and carefully selected , the grapes were slowly fermented under controlled temperature in French oak barrels, clay vessels and wooden vats.

After completing the process, the white wine En Números Vermells Garnatxa Blanca 2022 was aged on lees in the same fermentation diposits for 5 months before being bottled.

Production around 1,200 bottles.

Like most quality white wines, this white wine aged on lees is best served at a temperature slightly higher than usual (10-12ºC).

Aerate before drinking.

Nose

This varietal old vines White Grenache has an intriguing, impressively complex nose that only gets better as the wine is exposed to air. Fennel, white flowers, bone fruit and smoke, with a citrusy note, a hint of beeswax, herbs de Provence and tar and some deep mineral undertones.

Palate

This white wine of bodega En Números Vermells is expressive, richly layered and surprisingly easy to drink. Bone fruit and citrus, with a deep minerality, a steely acidity, some petrol-like remembrances and gently bitter notes, evolving into Mediterranean garrigue, spices and smoke. Very long finish.

Our personal opinion

The wine En Números Vermells Garnatxa Blanca 2022 is definitely on a par with some great Northern Rhône whites.
