Herència Altés, Garnatxa Blanca 2019

Description

Catalan native Núria Altés worked in local wineries before forming a partnership with her English husband, Rafael De Haan, to start Herència Altés, a project proudly carrying her family’s name in tribute to their work in the vineyards of Terra Alta over many generations. This Garnatxa Blanca is fresh on the palate with a penetrating freshness lifting the ripe peach, apricot and orchid notes. The wine spends two months on fine lees to gain texture and complexity which add an appealing, creamy texture to the mid-palate. Herència Altés has applied to join the International Wineries for Climate Action (IWCA), which was founded in 2019 to help “tackle the severity of the climate crisis” by reducing carbon emissions from participating wineries.
