Grenache Blanc, Tarragona, Spain

A balanced, bright and prevailing Spanish white for the most special of Wednesdays. Brothers Francesc and Joan Ferré are part of a two century long line of grape farmers, making energetic natural wines in the Terra Alta appellation of Catalonia. A mediterranean paradise, the 20 hectares of land range from placidly flat to chunky hills, and are enrobed by vineyards, olive trees and numerous other crops. Harvested at two different times to get a balance of plucky acids, sugars and phenolic ripeness, the grapes are later joined together for an expression they call “the yin and yang” of white grenache. Weighty and textural, a full bin of peeled lemons, salty seduction, licking cold glass, whole kiwi, cold butter creaminess, orange peel marmalade & perfectly inviting bitters on the end. Pair with your cutest culottes & a plate of steamy dumplings.
