Celler Piñol 2011 L’Avi Arrufi Garnacha Blanca (Terra Alta)

Country: Spain / L’Avi Arrufi
Variety: Garnacha Blanca Catalonia
Winery: Celler Piñol / Terra Alta

Varietal Garnacha Blanca from Catalonia is a distinct animal, and this is a prize specimen. Waxy and mature on the nose, but with dry scents of peach pit and apricot, this feels full and peachy but also grabby and acidic. Papaya and stone-fruit flavors finish full, pulpy and balanced. Drink through 2017.
