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,

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

Very nice Priorat white
This is lovely. Smooth and fresh, with surprising subtleness and nuance.
