Mas d' en Gil aus der
D.O.C. Priorato. Dem weißen
COMA ALTA 2017 vergab er stolze 93+/100 Punkten und schreibt nachfolgend im Original über den rebsortenreinen
Garnacha Blanca:
„The single vineyard white 2017 Coma alta comes from the La Coma Valley, one of the five valleys within the property and one of the healthiest because of the southeast Garbinada winds. The plot of barely one hectare was planted in 2000 on clay and limestone soils and is harvested early to keep good acidity, as Garnacha Blanca can have a tendency toward opulence. This vineyard has been farmed biodynamically since 2010, and the wine was partially fermented in barrel (30%). But for the last 10 years, they have strived to avoid too much oak in the wines, and this comes through as vertical and fresh within its powerful and Mediterranean profile. It has volume and very good acidity, coming through as dry and tasty, with an almost salty twist in the finsh. 2.967 bottles were filled in May 2018. The wine feels young and undeveloped, with years ahead of it.”
