A bright, energetic wine that captures the sun-drenched character of the Mediterranean while retaining remarkable freshness and lift. Blending Macabeu with a touch Muscat d'Alexandrie, Voltor 2023 bursts with aromas of mandarin peel, white peach, apricot, and crushed fennel, layered with subtle notes of wildflowers and citrus zest. Four days of whole-bunch skin contact brings gentle smooth texture and aromatic intensity, while the marl soils lend a vibrant mineral tension that keeps the wine beautifully balanced. Expressive, and endlessly drinkable, Voltor is an expressive wine connoisseurs drink that keeps on giving as it opens perfectly reflecting of the Hautes-Corbières landscape.

Vinification

Voltor 2023 is produced from organically farmed Macabeu and Muscat d'Alexandrie grown on marl soils in the Côte Catalane. The grapes are harvested by hand, fermented as whole bunches, and gently foot-stomped before undergoing 4 days of skin maceration.

Fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts, allowing the aromatic intensity of Muscat and the freshness of Macabeu to shine through. The skin contact contributes texture and complexity without sacrificing vibrancy, while the marl soils provide energy and precision. The wine is aged on the fine lees for 1,5 years before being bottled unfined, unfiltered, and without sulphur additions, preserving its purity, freshness, and sense of place.
