Guía Peñin (90/100)
R. Parker (90/100)
The white 2022 Autocton Blanc was produced with Xarel.lo grapes from different vineyards in Tarragona, fermented with indigenous yeasts and matured for 10 months, 20% in 300- and 400-liter oak barrels with bâtonnage and the rest in stainless steel. It comes in at 12% alcohol and kept very good freshness and acidity, with a pH of 3.27, remarkable for the unusually warm and dry 2022 vintage. It's clean and fruit-driven with notes of dried herbs, hay and straw, and it has integrated oak and a soft palate with a medium body and a dry finish, quite tasty.
