Wine Overview: Castillo Perelada Collection Blanc
Designation and Tribute
- Wine Type: White
- Appellation: D.O. Empordà
- Tribute: Inspired by the castle’s revered Glass Collection, the wine label reflects artistry as much as authenticity, making each encounter with the Collection Blanc a celebration of history.
Grape Varieties and Vineyard Practices
The Collection Blanc is a harmonious blend of 55% Chardonnay and 45% Sauvignon Blanc. These varietals are nurtured in Empordà’s varied microclimates and cultivated in sandy, clay, and slate soils. This terroir, combined with the region’s refreshing Tramuntana winds, imparts the wine with its maintained acidity and vibrant freshness.
Winemaking Excellence
Emphasizing quality, only the finest free-run juice is employed, maintaining a low fermentation temperature to preserve its dazzling flavors. A minimal portion of the wine undergoes aging in newly crafted acacia barrels, imbuing it with subtle florals and creaminess while retaining the wine’s inherent fruity character.
