Characteristics
Tasting Notes:
Elecció ([ələksio] Catalan for “choice”) is the choice of a fruity wine that best expresses our terroir through its minerality and floral aromas. On the notes, there are prominent floral, litchi and peach notes. The palate is flooded with richness, minerality, and weight from the wine’s alcohol.
Gastronomy:
Pasta dishes, especially with creamy sauces, are the ideal choice for this wine. Ideally, it would be vegetable or chicken-based. Alternatively, grilled fish and shellfish are excellent options.
Vineyards:
On the Pyrenean foothills, the Agly valley offers some of the most beautiful clay-limestone terroirs of Roussillon.
Ageing method:
Obtained by 12 months of ageing in French oak barrels.
