The Las Cuadras Blanco 2024 by Costers del Sil is a white wine that perfectly reflects the freshness and modernity of the D.O. Costers del Segre. This blend, based mainly on Macabeo (Viura) and Chardonnay grape varieties, is born in a continental terroir characterized by significant temperature fluctuations, which allow it to maintain a vibrant acidity and a clear, crisp aromatic profile.
Costers del Sió - "Las Cuadras" Blanco 2024 (Costers del Segre)
The Las Cuadras Blanco is a wine designed to enhance the brightness and purity of the white fruits of inland Catalonia. The 2024 vintage masterfully combines the structure and elegance of Chardonnay with the freshness and floral notes of Macabeo. The production philosophy aims to preserve the integrity of the grape through vinification exclusively in steel, avoiding the use of wood to maintain a taut, vertical, and deeply refreshing sip. It is a new-generation Mediterranean white, capable of combining good palate density with a mineral streak that constantly invites another sip.
Sensory Profile In the glass, it presents a pale straw yellow with brilliant greenish reflections. The bouquet is intense and fragrant: it opens with clear notes of green apple, Kaiser pear, and white peach, followed by elegant hints of wild flowers and a delicate citrine nuance of grapefruit. On the palate, the entry is fresh and dynamic; the excellent acidity guides the sip towards a savory and clean finish, with returns of white-fleshed fruit and a slight note of Mediterranean aromatic herbs.
Vinification and Aging The grapes are mechanically harvested during the night to preserve aromatic precursors and prevent spontaneous oxidation. After a soft pressing, the free-run must ferments in stainless steel tanks at strictly controlled temperatures (16-18°C). The wine rests for several months on its fine lees in steel, undergoing periodic bâtonnage to acquire volume and creaminess without losing its proverbial citrus freshness.
Food Pairings An extremely eclectic and gastronomic white wine. It is the ideal companion for aperitifs based on fish tapas, seafood, and grilled crustaceans. It pairs beautifully with vegetable risottos, seafood salads, baked white fish, and Asian cuisine dishes such as sushi and sashimi. Thanks to its balanced structure, it also goes well with fresh goat cheeses and delicate white meats.
