  Verd Albera
  Emporda Costa Brava  
 
Viticulture & Vinification    
     
Verd Albera is made with a highly unusual blend of Grenache Blanc, Grenache Gris, Muscat de Frontignan and Muscat de Alexandria. The grapes undergo maceration for several hours, before gentle pressing. The must is then decanted to remove impurities. Fermentation takes place on the lees so as not to lose varietal character and aromas.

Tasting Notes  
     
A very interesting style with lots of spicey citrus fruit and a smokey minerality. Whilst still crisp and dry, there is a richness and the muscat in no way dominates. Tropical fruit and white flower notes are present along with a touch of white pepper. Good with salads and smoked fish, also meatier fish such as monkfish. Would also go well with light pork dishes.
