Alta Alella Bruant Pansa Blanca DO Alella Spain

Alella DO, Spain
Biodynamic Pansa Blanca (Xarel·lo cousin) from Alella's granite soils between Barcelona's suburbs and the Mediterranean. Mineral, saline, lemon pith, white grapefruit, almond, and crushed granite with a distinctive sea-spray freshness. One of Catalonia's most compelling indigenous white wines — and its most threatened.
