Product Details

Code: ALTA007

Alta Alella is family-run and fully organically farmed winery. It has a deep knowledge of its terrain and understands every corner of its vineyards. It values every single grapevines’ roots. Only through this esteem, can the Pujol-Busquets Guillén family keep their commitment and demonstrate their love for the land. The estate is just two kilometres away from the Mediterranean Sea and the vineyards are planted on slopes and terraces between 100 and 250m above sea level. The vines are grown on Sauló soil which is one of the most important elements that define the wines from Alta Alella: an acidic white granite-based sandy soil with low limestone content, low organic matter and good natural water drainage.

Organic dry white wine, made from the best Chardonnay grapes of the estate’s oldest vineyards. Through daily controls during the ripening period, harvest is done by making a selection of each vine in the vineyard, paying special attention on each plant and seeking the optimum moment to harvest the ripest grapes . Fermentation and ageing takes place in French oak barrels. After 6 months of ageing , the wine is bottle-aged for a minimum of 6 months before market release.

Straw yellow color with golden hues. Great aromatic complexity on the nose where one can find aromas of fennel and ripe fruit with an undertone of candied orange peel and vanilla. Pleasant and tasty entry, smooth and elegant on the palate which highlights the balance between ripe white fruit and toasty flavors from the oak aging process. Magnificent evolution in bottle.
