Padró i Familia

Made at the Padró family winery just south of Barcelona. Poesía means poetry in Spanish. The label also shows a rose, a symbol which is an integral part of tradition and culture in Catalonia. Poesía Garnacha Blanca is a crisp and refreshing wine, 100% white garnacha, a variety which is autochthonous to our area. The grapes are harvested in the early morning and pressed immediately. The cloudy must is then kept on the lees and cooled to approximately 10ºC for three days to prevent fermentation. It is then filtered thoroughly and fermented at a temperature of approximately 19ºC with repeated regular stirring so that it remains cloudy with some of its fermented yeast for a further two months to allow gradual enriching and broadness on the palate. Aromas of tropical fruits on the nose, pineapple and mango together with zesty notes and perhaps a little grapefruit. Smooth and creamy in the mouth. Memories of fruits such as peach.  This wine is fabulous with Japanese food, among others. James Suckling: 90 points.
