Description

Product description for Matassa Olla Blanc VdF 2024

Information about the wine

The cuvée consists of approximately 50% Muscat à petite grains and 50% Macabeu. The grapes come from formerly abandoned and recultivated vineyards at an altitude of 500 to 600 m. The vineyard soils consist of calcareous clay with a high iron content. The grapes are harvested by hand early in the morning in small crates to ensure they reach the winery fresh and intact. In the cellar, the grapes for the Olla Blanc were not destemmed, but spontaneously fermented whole in stainless steel tanks and then gently pressed. The wine then aged on its lees for eight months in 2,000-liter concrete tanks. Bottling is unfiltered, unfined, and without the addition of sulfites.

Color

Distinct cloudiness, orange to copper in color.

Nose

The 2024 Olla blanc is an expressive yet fragrant wine. It is not loud, rather intense and yet floating with a cloudy fragrance. It is reminiscent of elderflower, grapefruit juice and zest, nutmeg, a touch of mango, papaya, and pineapple, as if from aroma hops. There are also apricot and mirabelle plums, but everything is as airy as if it were a sparkling lemonade.

Palate

The white wine made from Macabeu and Muscat à petits grains retains its effervescence on the palate, but the maceration time gives it a distinct grip and thus a certain seriousness. The Olla blanc is juicy and fresh, lively and tonic, yet blessed with fine tannins and a certain bitterness on the palate, with hints of licorice and zest. Added to this is a pronounced saltiness in the finish. At 10.5%, it floats across the palate despite its earthiness.
