Iglesia Vella 2018 Domaine Le Roc des Anges

Iglesia Vella

古い教会の跡地から、塩気のある白。

カタルーニャ語で「古い教会」を意味する名のとおり、かつて村の教会があった場所の近くの単一区画から。1954年に植えられたグルナッシュ・グリが、片岩土壌の深みと複雑さを映します。白い花や洋梨、白桃のピュアな果実にアーモンド、粉状のミネラル、微かなスモーク。丸みを帯びたテクスチャーを張りのある酸が引き締め、白胡椒と火打石の余韻が静かに残ります。魚介のカルパッチョとともに。

Tasting note

Pale lemon yellow in appearance with a slight golden nuance. When swirled in the glass, the viscosity is moderate, suggesting the presence of minerality and calmness that comes from aging. The nose is tranquil and refined, with pure fruit notes of white flowers, pear, and white peach, layered with nuances of almond and hazelnut, powdery minerals reminiscent of limestone, and a subtle smokiness, which develop over time into impressions of honey, fennel, and salty notes like shells. The palate is surprisingly clear and firm. The rounded texture of the Grenache Gris is complemented by a firm acidity that tightens the overall texture, leading to a long, slender mineral finish. The wine is light thanks to its minimal batonnage, and the salty accents add dimension to the palate. The finish is extremely long, with subtle nuances of white pepper and flint lingering.

Winemaking & technical data

The name comes from an old tree plot (the "Iglesia Vella" plot) planted in 1954.

Soil/vineyard location: Old shale (slate) soil, north-facing slope, deep-rooted and demanding terroir.

Cultivation and winemaking management: Organic and biodynamic farming methods are used. Yields are limited.

Vinification and ageing: Fermented with wild yeast and aged in large barrels, large capacity foudres or old barrels. Lightly racked to retain acidity.
