Mas Candí Montombra Blanc 2019, Penedès

Xavier Ribes · Massís del Garraf · Gunyoles

A negociant vino from Ramón Jané and Mercè Cuscó, two of the four original founders of Mas Candí.  Special, terraced 1.5 hectare vineyard in a national forest replanted in 2004 by Xavier Ribes after a wildfire.  With just just one day of skin contact, grapes are co-fermented in stainless steel, with half of the fruit done whole-cluster, then aged in used barrels.  Pretty pale peach hue, pleasant minerality, salty – humming vibes.
