Product Description
Details
Marketed under the brand name Mas de l’A - La Morera, one of the many wine projects of energetic Catalan winemaker and architect Alfredo Arribas, the wine Quars comes from DOQ Priorat.
This varietal White Grenache is sourced from organically grown vineyards, transitioning to biodynamic farming, composed of clay and quartz soils and situated between the villages of Cornudella and Poboleda, at 500 metres of altitude.
Hand-harvested at the optimal ripening state, the grapes were partially destemmed and gently pressed. This Spanish white wine was then fermented with wild yeasts in concrete diposits and stainless steel tanks.
After that, the wine Quars 2022 was transferred into 500-litre French oak barrels and aged for a period of 10 months. It was bottled unfined and unfiltered.
It is advisable to decant this Crianza white wine some time before drinking.
This varietal white wine from Priorat is subtle and characteristic.
Very limited production.

Arribas has done it again. This is a remarkable white Priorat with no trace of heat or over-extraction.
