The Portal del Montsant portfolio includes one white wine, the 2006 Santbru Blanc, a blend of 90% Garnacha, 7% Macabeu, and 3% Chardonnay. The wine was aged for 6 months in new 500-liter Allier barrels and bottled unfiltered. Medium straw-colored, it offers up a floral, slate/mineral and white peach bouquet. This is followed by a medium to full-bodied dry wine with ample ripe fruit flavors and moderate depth. It should be drunk over the next 2-3 years. Portal del Montsant is a new estate started by Barcelona architect Alfredo Arribas in 2001 with his purchase of the Mas de Portal property. He hired the experienced Ricard Rofes as winemaker. The estate is being farmed organically. Importer: Tom George, Frontier Wine Imports, Dover, NJ; tel. (973) 328-4500

Fragrant with jasmine and honeysuckle, this exotic white offers flavors of pine, pear, honey and licorice, finishing with a peaty note reminiscent of Scotch whisky. Full-bodied, with just enough acidity for grip. Drink now. 1,000 cases made, 210 cases imported.??–TM??Region: Spain / Montsant Select to Add
