Lafou Celler
Lafou Els Amelers Garnatxa Blanca
Terra Alta has proven one of my favorite regions for white wine that nearly nobody knows about. Lafou makes one of the best - a Garnatxa Blanca of length and texture. Sweaty and mineral, the wine offers precise, clean flavors or green olive skin, almond dust, lemon pith, and Thai basil - corrupted further with tones of petrol, dried wax, rind, and salinity. What a wine.

White peach and citrus notes lead to a touch of creaminess and white pepper followed by a burst of fresh acidity. The white pepper and acidity lingers for a long time on the touch with just a touch of stone. Paired with grilled asparagus and seafood paella.
