Raimones Engrescada Ancestral
Country: Spain
Region: Penedès
Grapes: Marina, Xarel.lo
Vintage: 2021
Raïmones is an exciting new natural wine project in Penedès that is essentially a supergroup of acclaimed local wine producers Mas Candi, La Salada and RR Sadurni, whose individual projects we have been fans of for some time. For Raïmones the trio work primarily with indigenous Catalunya varieties, including the super-rare Marina which they are on a mission to bring back from the brink of extinction.
The Engrescada Ancestral is a pét-nat style sparkling wine made from a blend of Marina and Xarel.lo. Refreshing and saline with lovely aromas of white flowers, orange blossom, peach and pear aromas.
