White Wine Lafou Els Amelers 2023

In the southwestern Catalan region of Terra Alta, the name "fou" designates a ravine, a landform frequently occurring in the region.

Produced by Celler La Fou, the wine Lafou Els Amelers is made solely from a grape variety which is also highly characteristic of the area, namely White Grenache.

Coming from old vines harvested quite ripe, and from young grapevines harvested early, the grapes were first cold-soaked for 4 days.

After that, they were gently crushed, and then 90% of the resulting wine must was fermented in stainless steel tanks and concrete eggs, where they also remained on its lees for a period of 6 months. The remaining 10% of this Spanish white wine was aged in light-toasted, 300-litre French oak barrels for 6 months as well.

Finally, the white wine La Fou Els Amelers 2023 was clarified and cold-stabilized prior to bottling.

Aerate this white wine from Terra Alta 30 minutes before drinking.
