Oriol Artigas La Bestia 2018

Country: Spain

Region: Catalonia

Type: Orange Wine

Grape: Pansa Blanca

This Pansa Blanca comes from the Vinya d’en Mundu vineyard just north of Barcelona. The grapes were hand-harvested and skin macerated for about a week before pressing to tank. The wine was wild yeast fermented and aged oxidatively on the lees for 10 months before being bottled without fining, filtration or added sulfur. 

There's a subtle oxidative quality to the wine, mixed with the characteristic saline quality for which Pansa Blanca is known. Delicate, but complex and layered, with light tannins, and a mineral finish.
