About

Welcome to an independent exploration of the world of wine. Here, we uncover the fascinating journey of grapes from vine to glass, discover the dedicated winemakers and their origins, and delve into the unique flavors that make each bottle an experience. I'm not a sommelier, nor do I have any affiliations with wine importers or stores. I'm simply a wine enthusiast who enjoys documenting my tasting adventures and insights, all while maintaining the utmost impartiality.

This wine is a direct press of Grenache Blanc from 14-year-old vineyard, planted entirely on schist slate soil. The grapes were gently pressed in a basket press before being transferred to barrels for 12 months of ageing. The barrels consist predominantly of new oak.

As the name suggests, this wine showcases a strikingly mineral profile, complemented by herbal and medicinal notes. Its vibrant acidity provides a precise, linear structure, leading to an exceptionally long finish with subtle touches of toasty oak.

Oh dear, it seems this wine and my palate haven't had their rendezvous yet. Maybe I was letting the wine breathe, or perhaps I was just taking another sip elsewhere. 😉

Fear not, dear wine enthusiast! This bottle's moment in the spotlight is coming soon. In the meantime, why not uncork your own adventure with it? After all, the best wine stories are those we create ourselves. Cheers to new tastings on the horizon! 🥂
