Description
Celler Piñol is located in the well-named southern Catalan DO of Terra Alta, with most of its vines located at an altitude of over 450 metres. A fourth generation winemaking family, the Piñols exploit their limestone soils with an imaginative palette of varieties and winemaking pragmatism.
A lively blend of Garnatxa Blanc ( 80%), Sauvignon Blanc, Macabeo and Viognier, the 2014 impresses with its herbal yet honied aromas, let’s say sour honey to be on the safe side, then its generous texture, warm and softly plump yet with a beguiling citric acidity cutting through the indulgence with great confidence. This reminds me of some of the grander altitude wines from not-actually-that-far-away Roussillon, yet without the extravagant price tag.
