The 2012 Ctonia is pure Garnacha Blanca aged in barrel for three months in contact with the lees. It has a subtle, slightly muted nose that transmits a good sense of harmony, with shy aromas of ripe apples, Mediterranean herbs, thyme, fennel and rosemary, with a full, round palate with some tannins and a grassy-tinged finish. This is a good, powerful Garnacha Blanca. Drink now-2017.
