Jané Ventura "Blanc Selecció, 15 vinyes" 2010 is elaborated with Xarel·lo (65%), Muscat de Frontignac (18%), Sauvignon Blanc (15%) and Malvasía de Sitges (5%). This wine has been inspired by the Mediterranean landscape and traditions. Made from fifteen different vineyards, either owned by the property (Mas Vilella and Finca Els Camps) or by quality growers of the Baix Penedès area. All the Xarel.lo comes from old vines. Cold-temperature skin maceration of the must is used to achieve higher aromatic expression and more structure on the palate. Then the must is pressed, drawn off, allow to settle for 24 hours and then fermented at low temperature (17º C) in inox vats.
Tasting notes: Bright yellow colour. Nose: elegant and complex. With citrus (grapefruit) and exotic fruit notes, along with some syrupy, white flower, new almond, fennel, and aniseed nuances. Palate: rich, powerful, neat and unctuous. It repeats the complex aromatic pattern it has on the nose, with great balance and structure.
What the critics say...
Robert Parker: 89 points(01/06/2011)
Jane Ventura’s 2010 Blanc Seleccio 15 Vinyes is a blend of Xarel-lo, 15% Muscat de Frontignac, with the balance Chardonnay and Malvasia that was fermented and aged in stainless steel. It offers up an alluring perfume of jasmine, nutmeg, mineral, and pear. Dry on the palate and reminiscent of Torrontes from Argentina, it is a savory, refreshing wine that will serve well as an aperitif or with light fish courses.
A winery dedicated to the world of the wine since 1914, in the Baix Penedès area(Tarragona). In between the sea and the mountain, in the north of the Tarragona province, with a hot, typically Mediterranean climate, of warm summers and moderately cold winters; the most of the days are sunny and... this favors the work of the vineyards and the full ripeness of the grape. We truly believe we are in an area where the climate is ideal for the growing of the vineyard, looking always for the maximum quality. The rains are scanty, 300-400 lit/year, but good enought for the extraordinary work of the vineyard. The vineyards are in two estates, placed in the Baix Penedès, with microclimates, different heights and areas: Els Camps estate: In the municipal area of la Juncosa of el Montmell, with 8 hectares of surface, where the varieties ´Ull de Llebre´ (Tempranillo) and Macabeo are grown, the latter with vine-stocks of 50 years of age. Mas Vilella: The Bisbal of Penedès municipal area, it is characterized for having a stony and calcareous area, of sandy texture. In a area of 7 hectares, are cultivated these varieties : Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Black Garnacha and Subirat Parent.
