Garnacha Blanca
Mediterranean Elegance and Silky Texture
"A white with the structure of a red: the grape that captures the warmth of the Mediterranean in a glass of pale gold and generous body."
The Renaissance of an Ancestral Grape Variety
Garnacha Blanca is much more than a mutation of its red counterpart; it is a variety with its own identity that defines the wine landscape of the Ebro and Terra Alta. According to the Regulatory Council of the D.O. Terra Alta, this region concentrates the largest global production, creating wines that are the gold standard for the variety.
Unlike conventional whites, it is distinguished by its low acidity and generous alcohol content. It is a fundamental grape in the blends of the Rhône Valley (France) and in the aged whites of Priorat, offering notes of ripe white fruit and subtle minerality.
