Spain, DO Costers del Segre
Albariño, Grenache Blanc
Description
With the ancient name of the lands of L'Albagés, Clos Pons Sisquella restores white wine making in Garrigues.
Fresh, floral, nice and with an insolence touch, Sisquella is a white flower that stands out in a red wine area.
Powerful sweetness in the nose with notes of pineapple and lemon, ripe white fruit, toasty flavors and vanilla accents coming from a light ageing in French oak.
It is elegantly spiced with citric and very refreshing notes.

Vineyard
The land and the climate are the symbols of identity of Clos Pons.
An abrupt terrain with an extreme climate leads to very characteristic identity traits in the wines.
Rainfall that oscillates between 150-300 l/m2, with very low atmospheric humidity and extreme temperatures, place us in a semi-desert environment. Only the thermal variation between daytime and night-time temperatures allows the vines a rest that is necessary for their endurance.

The terraces constructed over the years with their walls of stone paint a characteristic landscape. Limestone rock and clayey land are the basis for soils that are poor in organic matter.
All of these conditions provide us with an ideal space for the production of ecological wines of great quality.
