Tasting note

A singular take on Alella’s Pansa Blanca. Barrel-fermented in French oak and aged on fine lees, this wine rested six years in bottle before release. A deep, food-friendly and honest white that reflects the passing of time and the Mediterranean character of its origin.

Appearance: Bright golden yellow with honeyed highlights.
Nose: Complex and elegant: ripe white fruit, candied citrus peel, fennel, toasted almond and brioche, with sweet spices and a delicate smoky touch.
Palate: Broad and silky, with still-lively acidity and a saline minerality. Long finish of dried fruit and nuts, aromatic herbs and wet stone.

Food and wine pairing

Baked fish, seafood and shellfish, seafood rice dishes, poultry, and soft or semi-cured cheeses. Serve at 10–12 ºC.
