Le Roc des Anges "Iglesia Vella" 2020 dry white wine

Commentary written by the domaine: Its name means "old church" in Catalan as it comes from a single plot near the site of the village's old church. It is the white counterpart of Las Trabasseres. It comes from a plot that is almost Jansenist in its ability to deliver a mineral and long wine. Its verticality and salinity on the finish show that Iglesia Vella is a wine beyond schist; it is a wine of mother rock.

Technical sheet written by the domaine:

Cuvée of pure grenache gris, from a plot aged 80 years and with grey vines scattered among the Carignan 1903 plots. One of these plots is just a few meters from the site of the old church, Iglésia Vella in Catalan.

Fermented and aged in 500L barrels of 3 wines, Iglésia Vella follows the same line as the cuvée Vieilles Vignes white, but is purer, more precise, and longer.

Serving advice written by the domaine : Do not serve too cold. They have low alcohol and low pH, so there is no need to seek balance through cold; it would only break the mouthfeel and thus miss the wine. Serve at 13° in the glass to enjoy it between 15 and 18°. Opening in advance for Iglesia Vella and the Oca is always beneficial for having an open wine. The end of the bottle is always better, meaning when the wine has properly aired and warmed up! At that point, we have wines that express 100% of their nuances, including the delicacy that only reveals itself when "warm" and in the air. Avoid opening them in the phase between 2 and 5 years as the wine is still finding itself, caught between youth and evolution, and searching for its new balance.
