Product Description
Details

Produced in DOQ Priorat by bodega Domini de la Cartoixa, the wine Formiga de Seda de Clos Galena is made from White Grenache and Viognier grapes sourced from organically farmed vineyards with llicorella (slate) soils.

Each variety was separately harvested and cold macerated for 5 hours on arriving at the cellar. A portion of this Spanish white wine was fermented and aged on lees in stainless steel tanks, and the other went through alcoholic fermentation in French oak barrels, after which it was aged for a period of 5 months.

Once both processes were completed, the wine Formiga de Seda 2023 was blended, clarified and bottled.

Pair this organic white wine from Priorat with white meat recipes, semi hard cheeses and pasta recipes,

Nose

This blend of White Grenache and Viognier is lively and expressive, conveying aromas of passion fruit, pineapples and ripe peaches, with some spicy and mineral undertones.

Palate

Lush and creamy, with a citrusy acidity, flavours of tropical fruit and an earthy and mineral bite. This wine from bodega Domini de la Cartoixa has a long finish with a note of cinnamon and vanilla.

Smokey and textured, with good white fruit, a tropical note and the typical Priorat minerality. Very well made.

This is lovely. Smooth and fresh, with surprising subtleness and nuance.
