2023 Nin-Ortiz Planetes de Nin Carinyena Blanca

Ester Nin and Carles Ortiz are the proud owners of this tiny wine estate with vineyards in Porrera and Torroja and in Gratallops. Ester is an oenologist and biologist and originally comes from the higher part of the Penedès, in El Pla de Manlleu. Carles is responsible for the vineyard, together with his mules Negret and Max. Ester is best known for her work as oenologist of Clos Erasmus in Gratallops and of NUN, the top white wine of Enric Soler in the Penedès, of which she vinified the first vintages. In all her projects she resolutely opts for biodynamics. The Planetes: is located on a llicorella plot with a lot of iron oxide, called ferral, much harder than normal llicorella. The new vineyards (between 5 and 13 years old) are planted on terraces and partly on old 'costers' (Carinyena), visible from the road between Falset and Porrera.

Planetes de Nin is the second wine that has been vinified in recent years. The Garnatxes is now also added. A natural wine to which no sulphites are added and which is fermented in amphorae. Originating from vines planted in 1998 on slate and ferruginous slate at an altitude of 350 m. Yields of 10 hl/ha. Of the 2022, 4,000 bottles have been made and all bottles are numbered.

The Nin-Ortiz Planetes de Nin Garnatxes is light bright red. In the nose slightly reductive, but still with a lot of character. Light red fruit in the nose, red berries, spicy hints. Mineral on the palate, pleasantly light-footed with a fresh aftertaste.
