Winemaker Notes
Light bright yellow. Meyer lemon and green apple on the incisive nose, joined by hints of chalky minerals and ginger that emerge with air. Juicy and focused on the palate, offering lively orchard and citrus fruit flavors that open up and turn spicier on the back half. Finishes on a dusty mineral note, showing very good persistence and a lingering suggestion of honeysuckle. There's something Chablis-like going on here.-- Josh Reynolds.
Wine Information
The story of Celler Piñol reflects the rise of Spanish wines in global markets over the past decade, merging a deep respect for ancient, cherished vineyards and strong family traditions with innovative winemaking techniques to produce outstanding wines. Like Yecla and Vinos de Madrid, Terra Alta is emerging as one of Spain's promising wine regions, characterized by exciting projects and progressive innovation. Cristina Borrull, a talented and emerging winemaker, oversees winemaking at Celler Piñol. Juanjo G. Piñol serves as the winery director, while his mother, Josefina, manages the family cellar, preserving its legacy with dedication and tradition. Portal Blanco is an estate-bottled wine crafted by Celler Piñol using grapes grown in Terra Alta, a region south of Barcelona. Terra Alta is the birthplace of Garnacha Blanca, accounting for 35% of the world's Garnacha Blanca vineyards and 70-75% of Spain's plantings. While Portal Blanco incorporates small amounts of Sauvignon Blanc and Viognier, its essence lies in Garnacha Blanca, which gives it its bold character.
