Las Colinas del Ebro Garnacha Blanca is made from Garnacha Blanca 100%. A selection of hand picked old vine Garnacha Blanca was made for Las Colinas del Ebro Blanco. The grapes were destemmed and lightly crushed before being gently pressed and then cold settled before temperature controlled fermentation. Free run macerated juice was added to the fermentation to give complexity. Ageing for 2 months is French oak.
Tasting notes: Medium straw-colored. Nose: attractive perfume of mineral, spring flowers, white peach, and melon. Palate: exceptionally concentrated, mouth-filling, and vibrant with plenty of spicy fruit, good depth, and a fruit-filled finish.
What the critics say...
Robert Parker: 88 points(01/05/2011)
Las Colinas del Ebro’s 2010 Garnacha Blanca was sourced from 100-year-old vines in the up-and-coming DO of Terre Alta. Fermented and raised in stainless steel, it displays an enticing nose of fragrant minerals, bee’s wax, melon, and white flowers. Medium-bodied, on the palate it has excellent grip, proportion, and length. Drink this tasty effort over the next 4 years.
