Tasting Notes

A fragrant white with subtle orange blossom and fennel accents, offset by a crisp saline finish and zesty acidity.

The Producer

David Seijas was Head Sommelier at three-Michelin-starred El Bulli. He works with local growers in Catalonia, Aragon and Galicia, using indigenous grape varieties to make versatile, food-friendly wines with elegance and a sense of place.

The Vineyards

Organically managed vines over 60 years old grow at 160 metres on silty loam and sandy soils. These soils give a good balance of concentration and freshness.

In the Winery

Five hours of cold maceration builds texture and aroma. The wine is fermented in stainless steel at 15°C, then spends four months on fine lees.

Pair it with: our Scottish Scallops, or try its red sibling, Roca del Crit.
