White wines from Priorat - Carenes 2023

Carenes 2023

Josep Grau Viticultor

DruivenGarnacha blanca, Macabeu, Trepat blanc

This white Priorat is a blend of Grenache blanc, Macabeu, and Trepat Blanc from 80/120-year-old vines. The grapes are gently pressed with their stems for two hours. White Grenache ferments and matures in Austrian oak foudres, while Macabeu and Trepat Blanc ferment and mature in French oak barrels. The wine has depth, complexity, and elegance, and certainly does not lack power. A beautiful white Priorat with aromatic herbs, straw, some earthy rusticity, and lots of character and freshness. 1,150 bottles produced.

    About this wine
    • The wine-growing region around Gratallops is one of the few places in Priorat with old white grapevines (80–120 years old), including Trepat Blanc, a rare local variety.
    • The blend clearly shows the characteristics of Priorat: mineral depth, tightness, and Mediterranean warmth, but always with refinement and balance.
    • Minimal intervention: organic farming, hand harvesting, spontaneous fermentation, sur lies aging—all with respect for terroir and pure fruit expression.
