Celler 9+ '1 r Base' Blanc 2023 Tarragona, Spain

Taste: A mixture of yellow peach, apricots and tropical fruits like pineapple, lychee and papaya. Generous, well-structured palate with zesty citrus freshness. A wine to enjoy every day, on its own or with light dishes like salads, fish, or vegetables.

Grapes: 85% Cartoixà (aka Xarel-lo), 15% Macabeu

Place: Tarragona, Spain

Story: The grapes are destemmed and pressed. After settling for 24 hours, the clear must is racked into and stainless steel tanks, where it ferments naturally for 18-20 days at low temperatures (around 14-15ºC). The wine spends 9 months in tanks with weekly lees-stirring (batonnage) to obtain a lush, smooth texture. No fining or filtration, no sulfur added.
