Description
Bàrbara Forés El Quintà is a single varietal Grenache Blanc, made from grapes coming from small vineyards located in the Coll d'Alsina area of Gandesa, specifically in the areas known as La Cometa and Coll de Batea. These vines, more than 70 years old, grow on loess soils, a type of soil formed by wind sediments known in the Terra Alta region as "honeycomb". This wine is the result of organic, dry farming, respectful of the environment.
Winemaking
The grapes were harvested between 24 August and 4 September. Cold maceration is carried out for 24 hours, followed by fermentation in 400 to 600 litre French oak barrels d'Allier with its own yeasts. Subsequently, the wine is aged in the same vats for 8 months on the lees.
Taste
The taste of Bàrbara Forés El Quintà is a complete sensory experience. When you taste it, you perceive an unctuous and dry texture, with a marked citric acidity and a saline touch that provides a distinctive freshness. This wine has a balanced body and a long finish, culminating in a bitter finish that invites you to pair it with food rather than drink it on its own. The floral aromas of Garnacha Blanca combine with sweet and vanilla notes, accompanied by a subtle hint of honey. In addition, ripe fruits such as banana can be identified, along with complex smoky and balsamic nuances that come from its ageing in barrels. All this contributes to an aromatic and taste profile that distinguishes it and makes it ideal for those who are looking for a sophisticated wine with its own personality.
