Costers de Cornudella Blanc

Tasting Note

In the glass, it shines bright and clear with a pale straw-yellow core accented by steel-green reflections testifying to its high-altitude origin. The nose opens with an austere, mineral-driven elegance, revealing initial aromas of white orchard fruit like crisp pear and green apple alongside zesty lemon blossom and a subtle hint of bitter orange peel contributed by Red Grenache. As it breathes, authentic terroir emerges through flinty stone notes, wild chamomile, and mountain herbs like thyme and rosemary. On the palate, it enters with electric, vertical, and deeply refreshing energy. The mid-palate feels balanced and nimble; White Grenache provides generous volume, while Macabeo and Red Grenache supply vibrant acidity and a mouthwatering saline core. The finish is lingering, precise, and mineral-driven, leaving memorable impressions of fresh orchard fruit and citrus zest.
