Ca N'Estruc Blanc

The white 2021 Blanc is a blend of 70% Xarello, 15% Moscatel, 10% Macabeo and 5% Garnacha Blanca—quite different from the past. It fermented with natural yeasts in stainless steel and was bottled unoaked. This has 12.5% alcohol, a little riper than the typical harvest in the zone (which was base wine for Cava); in 2021 they harvested a little earlier, and the wine didn't go through malolactic. It's balsamic and has notes of bay leaf, with nice freshness and a long, dry finish. The palate is light, with marked acidity and a sharp finish. They started with biodynamics in 2019, and this is the first year they see the results. 80,000 bottles produced.
