👉 “Old Vine Garnacha Blanca • Organic & Vegan • 96 Point Gold Medal (Decanter)”

The Altavins Viticultores 2019 Les Garnacha Blanca DO Terra Alta is a powerful and elegant white wine crafted from old-vine Garnacha Blanca (White Grenache) in one of Spain’s most exciting wine regions. Produced in Terra Alta, Catalonia, this wine showcases the richness, minerality, and structure that define high-quality Garnacha Blanca.

Sourced from 70-year-old vines planted on fossil dune soils, this wine reflects the unique terroir of Terra Alta, where warm Mediterranean conditions are balanced by altitude and cooling influences that preserve freshness and aromatic complexity.

The wine is certified organic and vegan, highlighting Altavins’ commitment to sustainable viticulture and minimal intervention winemaking. Grapes are hand-harvested and carefully sorted, ensuring optimal fruit quality and purity.

The 2019 vintage opens with complex aromas of white flowers, citrus, mineral notes, and subtle spice. On the palate, it is structured and silky, with impressive weight balanced by integrated acidity. Flavors of ripe orchard fruit, citrus peel, and delicate spice unfold into a long, persistent, and elegant finish.

A short skin maceration (3 days) enhances texture and aromatic intensity, followed by fermentation at controlled temperatures. The wine is then aged for 9 months in French oak barrels (400L) with lees contact, adding depth and complexity while preserving freshness.
