Oriol Artigas La Rumbera 2022, Catalonia

local Xarel.lo · au naturel · Saulò

Oriol Artigas exposes the Mediterranean climate of lesser known Alella, just north of Barcelona.  A casual wine curiosity has turned into a lifetime passion for unapologetic, non-interventionist wines of garrigue and sea salt, heart and soul.  Hewn together from 7 separate parcels on mostly white granite soils, a couple days of skin contact, fermented with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel vats and aged for about 6 months, no fining, filtration, or added S02.  Floral, chalky, texture, white fruits – scrumptious.
