Tros Blanc 2014

Another beautiful Garnacha Blanca from Alfredo Arribas, this time from 82 year old vines in the Mas de la Notaria vineyard. Smoky, phenolic and herbal, with a rugged, slightly wild character to the herbs. Huge flavour on the palate with a savoury twist to the effortlessly long finish. A fully mature Garnacha Blanca in a perfect spot. Drink now and enjoy! 2020-2026.

There' s single vineyard white 2013 Trossos Tros Blanc Mas de la Notaría, Garnacha Blanca from an ancient 0.7 hectare plot in the village of Masroig. It was pressed after one day cold soak and the must put to ferment in two 500-liter French oak barrels where it was kept with the lees for eight months with very soft bâtonnage. It feels a little closed and backward, a serious white currently trapped behind the oak, with serious aromas and an even more serious palate; it has volume and clout, and is clean, precise and focused. Built for the long term. I think this will age magnificently in bottle. Only 770 bottles were filled in September 2015.
