"A full-bodied white with a lovely balance!"

Kaya Blanc is a blend dominated by white and gray Grenache, with a touch of white and gray Carignan. The nose is refined, with notes of white fruit and hazelnut, supported by a lovely minerality. The attack is clean and mouth-watering, enhanced by aromas of fresh almond.

The vineyards are located at the foot of the rocky peaks dominated by the Château de Queribus. The estate’s wines are full-bodied yet balanced, energetic, and intense.

Review by Mr. GILLES D. Published on November 7, 2024

An uncomplicated white wine, straightforward and linear, with beautiful intensity of yellow stone fruits, as well as subtle floral and woody notes, all structured around a briny backbone that brings plenty of freshness and a caressing richness for support. The medium-length finish seems to me to suffer from a touch too much bitterness. So while it may not be the easiest wine to pair, this Catalan wine works well with pasta topped with Collioure anchovies and basil, as well as with Mediterranean sardines grilled on the BBQ. Rating = 3.8.
