IGP Côtes Catalanes Olivier Pithon Maccabeu 2015

The wine

As the name indicates, Olivier Pithon has here produced a single grape variety of Maccabeu from schist soil, cultivated by hand and aged in barriques. This white wine of Côtes Catalanes offers finesse and elegance through its lightly fruity and brioche-like aromas. Its fine minerality means it pairs remarkably well with maritime dishes.
