DO MONTSANT
Young White Wine from Old Vines
Jaspi Blanc is a young white wine from DO Terra Alta, crafted from white Red Grenache and Macabeo grapes sourced from old vines. It is aged on its lees (yeasts), which adds flavor and creaminess to the wine. This is a highly refreshing wine, with aromas of white flowers such as orange blossom or acacia, and flavors of white-fleshed fruits like pear and green apple, along with citrus tones and Mediterranean forest herbs. A fresh and pleasant wine.

MUSICAL

Tell Mama by Etta James is a song filled with a mix of energy and delicacy. Her powerful and passionate vocals, full of expression, contrast with the soft melodies of the accompaniment, creating a synergy that evokes deep emotions. This song, with its tonal richness and authenticity, perfectly complements the complexity and freshness of Jaspi Blanc.
Jaspi Blanc, with its base of white Red Grenache and Macabeo, evokes that same sensation: an intrinsic strength presented with delicacy. The essence of Tell Mama resonates with the refreshing and creamy personality of the wine. The floral and citrus notes of the wine, combined with Etta James' powerful voice, take the listener through an enriching sensory journey.
Just as Etta James expresses each word with sincerity, Jaspi Blanc presents its aromas and flavors with transparency. The notes of acacia, orange blossom, and fresh stone fruits are an homage to the Mediterranean landscape, just as the song is an ode to sincere love.
