General Information
Gotim Blanc 2023 is a young, exotic, and fresh white wine made from a blend of the best-selected grapes of the sauvignon blanc and macabeo varieties from a high-altitude vineyard, located at 700 meters above sea level, and cultivated on clay and silt soil with some gravel. These are the main ingredients to produce this unoaked white wine, easy to drink, pleasantly aromatic, and flavorful.
Castell del Remei is a benchmark winery in the Costers del Segre Denomination of Origin, led by winemaker and viticulturist Tomàs Cusiné Barber. It was founded in 1780 when the father of Don Ignasi Girona Vilanova cultivated the estate influenced by French viticulture. It is the oldest winery in Catalonia dedicated to the production of fine aged wines. The winery owns about 100 hectares of vineyards, working with native grape varieties such as garnacha, tempranillo, cariñena, trepat, malvasía, and macabeo, as well as French-origin vines introduced to the estate in the 19th century, including cabernet sauvignon, syrah, chardonnay, and sauvignon blanc.
Under sustainable agriculture, Tomàs Cusiné produces this remarkable white wine from the D.O. Costers del Segre. It begins with a peculiar maceration and controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks, but separately according to the grape variety. The result is this Gotim Blanc 2023, a white wine that stands out in the mouth for its characteristic salinity and ideally accompanies all kinds of appetizers and dishes with fish and white meats.
