Clay Garnacha Blanca 2023 is a tribute to authentic qualities – the clay of the jars in which this Garnacha Blanca varietal wine is aged. It is made from grapes grown in small plots of old vines, which ferment with their own native yeasts, as they are organically grown.
This exclusive wine is a very bright greenish yellow. It has citrus, lemon and pineapple aromas on a delicate background of white flowers. In the mouth, the attack is fresh, with fruity flavour and good acidity. The wine is balanced, with a long, persistent finish, where the citrus notes reappear.
Fired clay was one of the first materials produced by humans and we continue to use it to this day for its extraordinary qualities. Terracotta vessels have been used in wine production since ancient times, both for fermentation and for ageing, keeping and transporting wine. The oldest evidence of winemaking dates back 8,000 years to an archaeological site in Georgia, where fragments of large clay jugs have been found containing traces of tartaric, malic, succinic and citric acid: all compounds contained in wine.
The bottles containing these wines are also very special. They are made of enamelled stoneware, a material with properties very different from conventional glass bottles. The ceramic material is completely opaque to light, the bottles are closed with cork stoppers, and they are protected with different coloured sealing wax for each type of wine.
