Abadal Picapoll: The Authentic and Singular Soul of a Rescued Heritage

The Pride of a Terroir Identity Unique to the World

Abadal Picapoll is far more than just a regular white wine; it is the ultimate symbol of the winemaking resurrection in DO Pla de Bages. The Abadal estate was the absolute pioneer in rescuing and championing the Picapoll grape—the region's only native white variety, which had neared complete extinction. Grown on slopes blessed by an inland Mediterranean climate and protected by the majestic Montserrat mountains, this unique grape is loved for its late-ripening skin packed with subtle nuances. Through careful vinification in stainless steel tanks resting over its fine lees, Abadal extracts the absolute typicity of the plant, bringing forth a white wine of unmistakable character, far detached from temporary trends and deeply tied to its homeland.

Tasting Note: Balsamic Freshness and an Unexpected Beautiful Weight

In the glass, this white wine shines with a bright straw-yellow color with delicate greenish and golden reflections that showcase its youth and optimal evolution. As it nears the nose, a captivating, delicate, and clean fragrance unfolds, dominated by ripe white fruit notes like pear and crisp apple, beautifully integrated with vibrant citrus layers of grapefruit and fresh pineapple. However, its true uniqueness lies in its balsamic bouquet—recalling local undergrowth, white flowers, lavender, and wild fennel, vivid markers of the deep forests surrounding the estate vines. On the palate, Abadal Picapoll surprises from the very first second. The entry is smooth, charming, and crisp, transitioning into a velvety texture with outstanding volume thanks to its lees contact. It exhibits a phenomenal balance where a seamless acidity adds great vivacity, leading the tasting experience into a broad, clean, slightly fruity finish layered with a beautiful hint of aromatic herbs that beautifully lingers over time.
