Clos Pissarra 2017 Grenache Blanc
2017 Arrels de Clos Pissarra White Grenache, El Sol Vineyard, Falset
NVWE Notes: Densely packed to the nose, this gorgeous wine speaks of balance and concentration from the start. The aromas are a focused medley of dried peach and apricot fruit scents firmed by mineral counterpoints and given zest by a subtle note of grilled grapefruit. These elements seem amplified on the palate, where apricot and stone fruit pit flavors team with fruit zest to bring a piquant tension to the otherwise tongue-coating texture. The finish is very long and seems almost pithy. This gorgeous dinner-ready bottling may grow more aromatic and silkier with time, but drinkers might find it even more rewarding right now for its innate sense of drama. 150 cases produced.
