El Garbi Terra Alta Garnacha Blanco
Named after the Mediterranean breeze that, on a summer?s evening,?warms the vines of this high, mountainous region, El Garbi Blanco?tells you exactly where it comes from: crisp, minerality from the mountains, a hint of salinity from the sea, and an underlying creaminess from its fermentation in oak casks and ageing on its lees.

The Garbi is a warm Arab wind that blows hard across northern Spain and has a heavy influence on the high altitude vineyards of Terra Alta. Flushing through the canopy it ventilates, allowing a longer, cleaner hang time. Garnacha Blanca ripens to perfection, developing lifted apricot and white stone fruit notes. The weight of the fruit on the palate is tempered by the oak, 100% new from the finest Boutes tonneliers in Bordeaux, adding a spicy complexity and structure to the already phenolic nature of the wine.
