General Information
Les Cousins L’Antagonique 2021 is a surprising, original blanc de noirs that is both straightforward and easy to understand. Cousins Marc and Adrià Pérez produce wines with a unique style at the Cims de Porrera facilities, reflecting their way of understanding life: a moment, an emotion, a wine; and L’Antagonique is one of their most groundbreaking bets.
With a striking pale tone, this wine under the D.O.Q Priorat designation is made from the native varieties garnacha tinta (60%) and cariñena (30%), with a small contribution of white varieties (garnacha blanca, macabeo, and trepat).
For the production of Les Cousins L’Antagonique 2021, the Les Cousins team hand-harvests in 12 kg boxes, and the collected fruits are passed to a selection table. After destemming in a vertical press, a gentle pressing is carried out, and the obtained must begins fermentation in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 18º C. The winemaking process concludes with racking and subsequent resting of the wine in stainless steel vats until bottling, resulting in a wine that perfectly harmonizes with pasta dishes, grilled vegetables, creams, rice, or pizza.
Tasting notes
On the nose, it displays aromas of black and white fruit with a citrus touch, followed by hints of blue, white, and pink flowers. It finishes with spicy nuances on a mineral and earthy background.
Fresh entry on the palate, where it shows dry, with a slightly sweet point. Mature tannins, with body and a slightly tart passage that adds texture. Deep and herbal.
