Vernatxa Gris, Terra Alta, Spain
A swoon worthy snippet from the winemakerâs notes: âWe came from a very dark and deep night, and all light is inadequate. We have the memory of the time marked on the skin and the seasons of the year dyed in the mustâ. Francesc and Joan FerrĂ© are part of a two century long line of grape farmers, who are now making energetic, natural wines in the Terra Alta appellation of Catalonia. Certified organic, the 65-year-old Vernatxa Gris, aka grenache gris is from a single vineyard called âLo Mas del Surdoâ. Here the soils are fully âpanalâ, or petrified sand dunes - #natureismetal. The grapes are hand-harvested, lightly foot-trod and left to ferment and age on skins for 30 days of heartwarming skin contact. Copper in colour, with earl grey aromatics, baked earth, Christmas spices with a cinnamon specific astringency, yellow raisin meets apricot nectar, dried herb melange & a salty sandcastle structure. Enjoy with salmon salad & the poetry of Pablo Neruda.
