Oriol Artigas La Rauxa Pet Nat 2019

An ancestral method sparkling wine made mostly Pansa Blanca and a little Garnatxa Blanca from the highest elevation vineyards that the winemaker produces wine from.  The grapes were hand-harvested and destemmed before pressing to stainless steel tank. The wine was co-fermented with wild yeast in tank, then aged on the lees in bottle for 9 months (method ancestral) before disgorging at under 2g/L residual sugar, and finished without fining, filtration or added SO2.  Aromas of citrus (grapefruit, lemon zest) and white fruits, with subtle hints of yeast and Mediterranean herbs.  The palate is fresh, lively, and crisp with natural effervescence. Flavors mirror the aroma, featuring a balance of fruity and saline notes.  11% ABV
