Escoda-Sanahuja Els Bassotets 2022

This biodynamic Chenin Blanc offers vibrant apple and citrus notes with mineral undertones, balanced by a natural funk that divides opinions. While many praise its clean, refreshing character and complex orange wine qualities, some find the savory funk challenging. The wine presents consistent freshness with evolving flavor layers.

The 2020 Escoda-Sanahuja Els Bassotets presents a luminous straw hue, indicative of its natural vinification. On the nose, it unfurls a bouquet of ripe apricot, quince, and a whisper of wild herbs, underscored by a mineral edge. The palate is vibrant and textural, with a seamless integration of stone fruit and citrus zest, balanced by a lively acidity that propels the wine towards a crisp, saline finish. This biodynamic expression from Catalonia captures the essence of its terroir, offering a compelling alternative to more conventional white wines, and is a testament to the region's innovative winemaking ethos.
