This Spanish Grenache Blanc comes from old vines high up in the mountains of Montsant, just west of Barcelona. Ripe and round with pretty aromatics and a juicy, tropical weight, it’s both cooling and warming – cool from the crushed stone mineral edge and warming from the ripe explosion of mango, pineapple, and banana fruit. Left on the skins for two months and aged in amphora, this is a legit orange wine in flavor, color, and process.
Delicious With
Pairs with simple roast chicken, oily and fleshy fish, and dishes with heavy starches like potatoes, pasta, and rice.
Their Cred
Alfredo Arribas already had one successful career as an architect with experimental buildings dotting the globe. But at the end of the 1990’s, his work led him to establish deeper roots in the city of his birth, Barcelona. The Priorat region is 80 miles to the southwest of Barcelona and Arribas was naturally drawn to it as a wine lover. He purchased an estate, Clos del Portal, and began producing cult-worthy estate wines under the name Portal Del Priorat. The wines are inspired and the labels are playful. However, Arribas was looking for fruit to lighten and boost the acidity and lift the profile of his “Tros de Clos” wine, so he explored vineyards reaching further out of Priorat and into cooler, northwestern Montsant.
