Ca N'Estruc Idoia Blanc 2020 75cl

Tasting Note

Complex and layered with aromas of tropical fruit and brioche . The palate is opulent with savoury, nutty characters balanced by apricot and a touch of vanilla. Weighty with mineral complexity and bright citrus acidity on the finish.

Producer

The Ca N'Estruc estate dates back to 1574. Here on the slopes of the holy mountain of Montserrat in Esparreguera - half an hour away from Barcelona - Francisco Marti cultivates 22 hectares planted at 165m on alluvial soil. The plots surround the family farmhouse and winery, and grapes cultivated include Xarel-lo, Moscatell, Garnatxa Blanca, Syrah, Chardonnay and Petit Verdot. The oldest vineyards (average 40 years) are gobelet pruned. The estate has access to an additional 20 hectares of old vine fruit (40-60 years old) from local growers.

The estate has a unique microclimate with the vineyards planted to protect vines from the cold north winds whilst optimising sunshine to ensure full ripening. They experience cool summers, mild winters and an average annual temperature of 14ºC
