Product Description
Details
Made by Celler Cal Pla from vineyards around 35 years old, the wine Mas d’en Compte Blanc is a classically-styled, characterful Spanish white wine from DOQ Priorat.
The main component is White Grenache complemented with Picapoll Blanc and Xarel·lo. The vines are grown in the typical llicorella (slate) soils which have given worldwide fame to the region.
The grapes were harvested by hand and traditionally vinified in stainless steel tanks under controlled temperature.
After that, the white wine Mas d'en Compte Blanc 2020 was aged on lees for 9 months in 80% French and 20% Hungarian oak barrels.
Fruit-driven, gently mineral and even petrol-like after some years in the bottle, this white wine from Priorat is excellent with fish recipes, white meat dishes and creamy cheeses.
It is advisable to decant this white wine aged in oak some time before drinking.

An excellent white Priorat
White Priorat at its best. Yellow fruit, herbs and petrol, nicely structured with some impressive mineral notes intertwined with some spice and wooden notes.
