Description
REGION: D.O. MONTSANT
Sub-region: Els Guiamets.
- Climate: Mediterranean with a certain continental influence. The effect of the surrounding mountains, which partially protect the area from maritime influence, results in a marked contrast between daytime and nighttime temperatures during the grape ripening period.
- Soil: clay soils with good water-retention capacity.
- Vineyard altitude: 290 m (Garnacha Blanca) and 300 m (Macabeo).
- Rainfall: average annual rainfall of 590 L/m2.
WINEMAKING
- Harvest: hand-harvested in small 25 kg boxes. The Macabeo was harvested on 20 August and the Garnacha Blanca on 22 August.

- Blend: Garnacha Blanca and Macabeo.
- Type of barrels: 225-litre French oak barrels.
- Ageing: 6 months.
TASTING NOTES
Siana Terrer Blanc displays a bright pale yellow colour.
On the nose, it offers an intense and elegant aroma of white fruit, with subtle notes of herbs and flowers, complemented by delicate toasted notes from oak ageing. On the palate, it is structured and fresh, with a subtle creamy texture. The finish is pleasant, revealing hints of citrus and creamy notes.
Recommended pairing: ideal with seafood, fish, white meats, pasta and rice dishes, as well as Asian cuisine. It can also be enjoyed by the glass with light tapas and good company.
Serve between 6 and 8 °C.
