Costers del Priorat - 'Blanc de Pissarres' 2015/16
"The Grenache Blanc really stands out here with a slight smoky note and a real white fruit and floral base to the wine. There is white pears and nectarine at the forefront of the aromatics. The citrus and tropical notes start to really come through as it opens up a bit and gets some air around it. Lovely and lively acidity on the palate from the PX and Macabeo. Fleshy on the palate too, which I love, and makes this a great autumn or spring white wine."
