2023 Clos Lointain "Meditations" Grenache Gris

The 2023 Clos Lointain Grenache Gris Macabeo White Wine from the Côtes Catalanes, crafted from the La Coumo Estate Vineyard in the Catalan foothills, is a beautifully layered expression of this variety. The nose is vibrant and multidimensional, revealing aromas of quince, grilled pineapple, and sea spray, lifted by notes of almond skin and warm pastry. On the palate, it strikes a compelling balance of texture and verve, unfolding with flavors of nectarine, preserved lemon, and crushed stone. A saline thread runs through its core, enhancing both focus and length. With its combination of richness, brightness, and mineral tension, this is an exceptional white that promises years of evolving complexity. It would pair magnificently with grilled turbot drizzled with olive oil and a touch of lemon. - Jeremy Young, International Wine Report
