Masies d’Avinyo 2007 Abadal Blanc White (Pla de Bages)

Country: Spain / Catalonia
Variety: White Blend
Winery: Masies d’Avinyo / Abadal Blanc

A strange bird for sure. The blend is 70% Chardonnay, 20% Sauvignon Blanc and 10% Picapoll. In no way is it common, and truth be told it lags far behind the winery’s usually excellent reds. But it does have a lot of kick, body and tropical fruit. And for a unique Spanish white, it may draw some interest because it’s not poorly made.
