Mas Escorpí 2023

An estate wine, or more correctly a wine from two estates: Mas Escorpí and El Serralet, and a lovely interpretation of the Chardonnay grape in the Penedès region. A white with a lengthy fermentation, lasting 43 days, a longer time than usual, due to a yeast which works very slowly (Saccharomyces uvarum) and results in a notable glyceric content. Mas Escorpí is a very good Chardonnay, as one would expect from a producer of Gramona's stature. A Chardonnay with a wide-ranging aromatic display of fresh fruit, especially dessert pears, along with tropical hints (pineapple, mango, kiwi), citrus fruits (lime, grapefruit, lemon), touches of white flowers and a very pleasant aniseed aftertaste. On the palate it has a fresh entry, medium-bodied and an abundance of fruit. Its surprising glyceric content endows it with lots of unctuosity and the nice acidity found on the finish imparts great freshness.
