Cellar Pinol - L'Avi Arrufi Blanco 2017

Vibrant, mineral-driven citrus and orchard fruit aromas are complemented by honeysuckle, ginger and a touch of quinine. On the palate, bitter pear skin and Meyer lemon flavors show very good depth and vivacity, along with a firming jolt of smoky minerality. The finish unwinds slowly, showing excellent concentration, persistence and lingering floral character.

This white has aromas of wet stones and a terrific earthy minerality. The wine shows a creamy texture in the mouth, with bright acidity that underpins the wine's structure, finesse, great complexity and great length on the palate.

The Celler Piñol winery has 57 hectares of their own grapevines which are situated between 1,300 and 1,640 feet (400 and 500 Meters) above sea level. This region has a continental climate that is influenced by the Mediterranean Sea. This micro-climate has marked temperature changes between the day and night, especially during grape ripening periods. This region has low annual levels of rainfall with elevated levels of sunshine. The soils at these vineyards are dark and chalky, with some clay present alongside low levels of organic material. This brilliant Spanish terroir allows the production of intense and complex organic wines.
