MAS DE LES VINYES BLANC 2017

“A small grower starts to make his own wine. This third generation family has been growing grapes, tending olive, cherry, and peach trees, and the property’s farm for over 30 years in the Montsant river basin. Since 1999 they stopped selling their fruit to the Co-op and began their label Mas de les Vinyes. An additional label Traca i Mocador was created in 2013. Led by Josep Borras Miquel, these sculpted wines are true representations of their soil. Made from Macabeu and White Grenache, the flower and spices accentuate the sandy, granite rich mica of the vineyards. There is a rich, bright acid with an oily silkiness. On the nose, the Macabeu brings a powerful citrus, stone fruit minerality. The low temperature steel fermentation allows layers of flowers and mountain herbs to rise from the glass. Elegant and lingering on the palate, the notes of lemon curd and savory spices dominate.”
