Terms & Conditions
Timonet is an intriguing, unconventional wine crafted by Porta de l'Albera winery in DO Empordà. Named after the wild thyme (*timonet*) that perfumes the slopes of the Albera range, this wine fuses two distinct varieties: rare indigenous Grey Grenache (Garnatxa Gris), offering texture, weight, and stone-fruit complexity, and carefully vinified Cabernet Sauvignon, delivering crisp acidity and refined herbal elegance.
Narrative Tasting Note
In the glass, it glows with a pale straw-yellow hue adorned with delicate coppery pink reflections from the skin of the Grey Grenache. The nose opens with an evocative Mediterranean bouquet where flowering wild thyme (*timonet*), rosemary, and wild fennel mingle with fresh vineyard peaches, pink grapefruit, and crisp red apple notes. On the palate, it surprises with rich volume and a silky mouthfeel, perfectly counterbalanced by clean, vibrant acidity that drives a fresh, agile palate. The finish is lingering, mineral, and saline, leaving a long, aromatic trail of Mediterranean herbs.
