Description
The grapes for De la Finca come from old vines in the Vinya dels Fòssils plot. This vineyard sits at 170-190 metres above sea level, where grey clay top soils sit above sandy subsoils containing small fragments of marine fossils. A blend of 60% Xarel-lo , 30% Macabeo, 10% Parellada. The wine was aged on the lees for 30 months imparting rich and autolytic depth. No sugar was added at dosage to preserve the wine's saline expression. Complex with delicate lemon, aniseed and fennel aromas and racey, acid backbone.
