Tasting notes
They shortened the élevage of the white 2021 Pedra de Guix to 11 months, and they also stopped using the 1,800-liter foudre, where the wine partially aged in the past, and now it's matured in concrete vats (diamond-shaped ones!). The wine is floral, vertical and a lot less oxidative than even the 2019, which is less oxidative than previous years. It's a different profile of wine with very good depth and freshness. Funnily enough, this 2021 has a little more alcohol than the 2019 (13.5%), but the wine feels lighter on its feet. 4,008 bottles produced.

The 2021 Pedra de Guix blends one-third Pedro Ximenez, one-third Macabeo and one-third Garnatxa Blanca from Priorat. Fermented in concrete with whole clusters, this golden wine presents a vermouth-like aroma with notes of garrigue , stems, pears and quince in an oxidative, sherry-like style. Dry and taut on the palate, it features a chalky texture and a faintly pastry-like finish. This is a distinctive entry in the new white Priorat scene.
