Clay Garnacha Blanca 2024
D.O Utiel Requena
Garnacha Blanca
Description
Discover the purest essence of the Mediterranean with Clay Garnacha Blanca, a true oenological jewel crafted by Bodegas Murviedro. This organic white wine pays tribute to ancestral winemaking techniques, standing out for its ageing in traditional clay amphorae (terracotta vessels), a method that fully respects the varietal expression and the terroir.
Sourced from small plots of old vines cultivated under the principles of organic farming, this Garnacha Blanca benefits from a warm climate and limestone soils at 450 meters of altitude, ideal conditions for achieving optimal ripening and balanced acidity. Fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts after a long cold maceration, followed by three months of ageing in 1,000-liter clay amphorae. This process not only provides a silky texture and exceptional volume on the palate, but also preserves the freshness and mineral character intrinsic to the grape.
Presented in an exclusive opaque glazed stoneware bottle sealed with wax, this wine is not only a liquid masterpiece but also a collector’s piece ideal for fine dining establishments and lovers of luxury wines.
