Almodi Petit Blanc 2023 Altavins

Petit Blanc Almodí 2023

Philosophy in the vineyard

Petit Blanc Almodí 2023 is born in a land shaped by centuries of trade and cultural exchange. The name “Almodí”, an Arabic word meaning “market”, tells the story of a vibrant past where commerce was the beating heart of human relationships. Today, this heritage lives on in carefully tended vineyards where the Garnacha Blanca fully reveals its Mediterranean character.

Approach in the cellar

In the cellar, a respectful approach is key to preserving the varietal freshness. Harvesting is done strictly by hand to maintain grape integrity. The winemaking process enhances the fruity aromas and savoury profile of this young white wine, a perfect contemporary expression of the D.O. Terra Alta.

The colour is straw yellow with greenish reflections, on the nose it offers aromas of white-fleshed fruit, citrus and light herbal hints, on the palate it is fresh, agile, with good acidity and a finish that recalls mineral and citrus notes.

Altavins

A deep bond with Terra Alta

Altavins is a small winery located in the D.O. Terra Alta, in the southwest of Catalonia, a wine region with an ancient tradition. Here, fine wines are born that embody body and soul, capturing the essence of native varieties, enhanced by the dry climate and dominant winds that shape the vineyards. Founded in 2001, Altavins has grown steadily, carving out a name in the Catalan wine market thanks to a philosophy based on identity, honesty and a strong Mediterranean spirit.

In the vineyard: biodiversity and character

Altavins’ philosophy is rooted in environmentally friendly viticulture, which observes and enhances the natural virtues of the grapes, intervening only when necessary. The vineyards, located between 350 and 550 metres above sea level, enjoy a typical inland Mediterranean landscape: well-drained soils, rich in limestone and low in organic matter. The dry water regime keeps fungal diseases to a minimum, allowing sustainable practices, while winds like the Cerç support the natural ripening of the grapes, resulting in healthy, mature fruit rich in aromas.

In the cellar: enhancing the Mediterranean essence

Every process in the cellar is designed to respect and express the uniqueness of Terra Alta. The minimal intervention approach favours fermentations that preserve the varietal aromas, without forcing or aggressive corrections. The result is authentic, elegant wines that tell the story of a unique land, where the strong temperature changes between day and night enrich the grapes with intense flavours and scents. The pursuit of excellence comes from a constant dialogue between vineyard and cellar: every Altavins bottle is a declaration of love for the Catalan land.
