About this winery

Overlooking the Mediterranean and sheltered by the Pyrenees is the wine region of Empordá in Catalonia.

Product notes

We recommend to serve this wine around 8-9C and to maintain freshness once opened by placing the bottle in a water and ice bath. To accompany… Valiet is a wine that we choose when kicking back with friends while enjoying small dishes of baby squid, clams, and fresh fish. It's a very forgiving wine that will let seafood and fish shine as the protagonists. It works very well to both boost the flavors of these foods while at the same time, refreshing the palate.

Production notes

Skin maceration for three hours for the White Grenache. Fermentation was maintained at 14C and the two varieties where vinified separately. Aged on the lees in stainless steel tanks prior to bottling. Sterile filtration.

Tasting notes

Pale yellow in color with a greenish rim. Most prominent are the aromas of white fruits (primarily pear and apple) with floral touches. It holds a marked acidity with citric notes quite evident in both the nose and on the palate. A versatile wine with pure Mediterranean characters and a nuanced aromatic intensity.
