Auzells from Tomàs Cusiné brings a burst of nature to every glass. A high-altitude white wine distinguished by its elegance and skilful blend of varieties, creating a vibrant, silky wine rich in aromas that invites you to discover the landscape of Les Garrigues.
Soil: Tomàs Cusiné’s vineyards are in El Vilosell, on stony clay-loam soils with abundant gravel that brings a distinctive minerality to the wine.
Altitude: Between 700 and 750 metres, in a harsh continental climate.
Viticulture: Mountain viticulture that benefits from the cool nights of Les Garrigues to maintain high natural acidity and optimal aromatic concentration in each variety used in the blend.
Winemaking: Careful vinification with temperature-controlled fermentation. The wine rests for several months on its lees (natural sediments), with bâtonnage to develop creaminess and structure on the palate.
Tasting notes: Auzells white is bright yellow with greenish highlights. On the nose it offers a symphony of tropical fruit (passion fruit), citrus notes and white flowers, with a subtle hint of woodland aromatic herbs. On the palate it is fresh, broad and very long, with a rich, mouth-filling texture and a persistent, refreshing finish.
Pairings: Ideal with seafood and fish rice dishes, sushi, pasta with seafood sauces, fruit salads and creamy cheeses.
