TASTING NOTES

Golden in color with gray reflections, very surprising as it is a black variety (“blanc de noir”). The nose presents intense and delicate aromas of red fruit (cherry, strawberry, raspberry), stone fruit (peach) and fresh grass. In the mouth the bubble is crisp, well integrated into the wine, refreshing and accentuating all the characteristics of the product. Black Grenache shows in this type of product a good foamability and therefore great aging capacity with its own lees in the bottle. A well-present structure and creamy touch originating from aging on lees are noticeable. The flavors are fresh and pleasant to red white fruit, with a mellow and long finish.

Made with Grenache black. It comes from mountain vineyards of the Rials Valley (Alella). The second fermentation has been carried out in the bottle (traditional method), the residual sugar itself has been used (stopping the first fermentation with cold) to carry out the second fermentation in the bottle, therefore no sucrose has been added as it is common in these types of products. It is aged for at least 12 months, although it has been designed to withstand long stays in the bottle before disgorging.

The grapes come from our own vineyards where we work in an ecological way (no herbicides, no insecticides, no inorganic fertilizers). In the winery, work is done with minimal intervention and with minimal doses of sulphur, and responsible persons who ensure the correct evolution of the wine and the food safety of the consumers.

Alella Vinícola is the winery that has made Alella famous since 1906 through its wines, promoting the creation of the Alella Denomination of Origin during the 1950s. We currently produce, elaborate and bottle wines and cavas under two Denominations of Origin: D.O. ALELLA and D.O. DIG. Most of the vineyards and the winery are located in the center of the town of Alella, in the heart of the Denomination of Origin, 15 kilometers north of Barcelona. The Mediterranean climate and the geological character make up our wines .
