Raventós de Alella Pansa Blanca 2018
The Raventós de Alella Pansa Blanca is made from the native Pansa Blanca grape, a local clone of Xarello and is only found in this tiny corner of the Mediterranean, where it flourishes in the poor sandstone soils. Gold in colour the Pansa Blanca has an intense fruity aroma of stone fruits such as peach and white fruits such as apple and pear. The palate is well balanced and displays great depth and richness leading to a long satisfying finish.
