SKURNIK WINES® Mascorrubi Heretat 1297 Vi Blanc De Catalunya – 6045673783455

Teulera is Catalan for a place where tiles are made (so called from the red clay and the presence of a spring nearby). This wine is hand-harvested from 30+-year-old vines grown in poor, rocky red clay at 500+ meters of altitude. It is then fermented and aged partially in oak barrel and partially in temperature-controlled stainless.

85% Montonega (a high-quality pink-berried clone of Parellada), 15% Garnacha Blanca

Ratings & Reviews

90 Points – Vinous Media:
“Bright yellow-gold. Highly perfumed, mineral-accented aromas of dried pear and lemon pith are accompanied by a suave floral topnote. Chewy, incisive and dry on the palate, offering bitter pear skin and quinine flavors that steadily flesh out on the back half. Shows firm tension and repeating florality on a long, nervy finish that leaves a Meyer lemon note behind.” – Josh Raynolds (April 2019)

90 Points – Wine Spectator Magazine:
“Full and firm, this savory white offers tarragon, blanched almond and quinine flavors framing a core of pear and green apple notes, with juicy acidity and a touch of tannins. The finish is fresh and lively. Drink now through 2020. 420 cases made, 150 cases imported.” – TM (Sep 30, 2018)
