Castell d'Encus, 'Taleia' Sauvignon Blanc

“This Sauvignon Blanc is the result of painstaking efforts to create a long and complex wine while avoiding strident intensity. Fermented with wild yeasts in 12th century stone vats hewn directly into the mountainside, this special wine has its own distinct personality”.

- Raül Bobet,  owner & winemaker of Castell d'Encus

Hand harvested and using small boxes of 10kg, the grapes for this Sauvignon Blanc come exclusively from a single estate vineyard. A part of the wine has been fermented in barrels of new French oak, with a certain period of aging on lees. The rest of the wine aged in small stainless steel tanks of 2500 liters and in stone carved vats from the 12th century (carved by monks directly into the mountainside).

Taleia in Catalan means ‘obsession’. Obsession, passion, a bit of madness... It refers to what the project of Castell d’Encus represents for Raül.
