Overview

Once a PX-focused blend from El Molar, with the 2021 vintage of Terra de Cuques, Dominik and Tatjana refocused this cuvée on the slate and clay-limestone soils of La Morera. Nestled in the Montsant mountains, La Morera is known for the freshness of its white wines due to its relatively cool climate and limestone soils. This is the ideal place for growing Garnatxa Blanca, which now makes up 60% of the blend, with Pedro Ximénez comprising the remaining 40%. After a manual harvest, the grapes are fermented whole-cluster for five days before pressing, and the wine finishes fermentation in concrete tanks, followed by six months of aging before bottling.
