Wines made from Chenin blanc grapes of Priorat
Discover the best wines made with Chenin blanc as a single variety or as a blend of Priorat.
Chameleon whites with taut acidity, ranging from mineral dry (Savennières, Vouvray sec) to off-dry and medium-sweet (Vouvray, Montlouis), sumptuous botrytised sweet (Quarts-de-Chaume, Bonnezeaux, Coteaux du Layon) and brilliant sparkling (Crémant de Loire, Vouvray brut). Aromas of quince, apple, honey, white flowers, beeswax and flint. An Anjou variety, also star of South Africa's Western Cape.
Mythical Catalan terroir, DOCa (Spain's summit alongside Rioja). Powerful, concentrated reds with signature notes of candied black fruits (blackberry, black cherry), graphite, schist, garrigue, cocoa and liquorice, firm tannins and a mineral palate strung by the "llicorella" (black schist and quartz forcing roots down to 20 m). Old vines of Garnacha (roundness) and Cariñena (Samsó, structure). Exceptional ageing.
