Q Blanc 2024 Grape|Garnacha

Q Blanc 2024 Grape|GarnachaLa Vrille's entry white, made from younger vines of Ugni Blanc, that lesser sung French sibling of Trebbiano. Lithe and lean this year and heavy on the yellow citrus, there is the raw attack of freshly squeezed lemon with something more oily and pithy to soften the edges. As ever, this is infused with their trademark herbal bay laurel character and the low finished alcohol lends a tonic quality. The grapes are direct pressed in whole bunches and left

with a further 3 months in steel before bottling

A wine that showcases all the sumptuous fruit and spice one associates with the region – think red and black cherries

Some real finesse on show here: the grapes come from three separate parcels of low-yielding 40-70 year old vines

In the words of Nacho ‘Anything other than Godello was frowned upon

A fitting reference to her time working with Daniel Sage

which is the chief botanical here

most brooding and structured of Elisa's cuvées

It can be harvested very late in the season whilst retaining high acidity and

sharp and salty with biting acidity and a savoury saltiness as well as the classic Txakoli "spritz"

A thirst-quenching sparkling rosé that never seems to last long once the bottle is popped open

sandy gold in the glass

bursting with all things fresh pink fruit
