The wine

Herència Altés La Serra Blanc is one of the star wines of the young winery Herència Altés. White Grenache grapes come from one of the best vineyards that the firm has in the clay and limestone soils of Gandesa. It is made only in the best vintages and exclusively from old white grenache strains. Proud of its Mediterranean character, but also of the thermal contrasts and low rainfall, La Serra manages to be a concentrated and fresh wine on par. The farm that gives it its name, consists of just over 21 hectares and has been planted for the most part since 1954. The yields are very low and respect for the absolute environment, non-negotiable for those responsible for the project.

Thus, when we see the wine move in the glass, it is easy to understand the reason for its density. His nose instantly confirms the budget in sight, with the concentrated fruit and wood melting naturally, while the memories of toasted bread loom with discretion. The wine matured in Austrian oak fudres that left a trail of spices and smoke in the wine; the work with the lees made it creamy and smooth on the palate. The good use of wood did not at all hinder the floral and scented expression of this wonderful garnacha, which adds the usual roundness of the variety with the elegant tannins of the limestone soils. The detractors of the great white grape of the Terra Alta could think of an excessive evolution of the wine, but nothing is further from reality, the feeling of freshness remains intact; they feel wild fennel and licorice, plums and yellow apples, as well as a comforting memory of beeswax. Its acidity measure and its slight bitterness help to transport the sensation of minerality throughout the palate and ensure a difficult aftertaste. It seems obvious to think that it will have a splendid future and that it will not cease to gain complexity for a long time.
