Coma Calcari is the former Coma Alta that had its name thanks to a higher plot of Viognier that was part of the Coma Alta assemblage until 2013. Coma Calcari is a single vineyard: La Feixa... white Grenache located in a lower zone of the Coma Valley. The vineyard is divided into 2 zones for both viticulture and harvesting. The wine's name refers to the terroir which is mainly chalk with some clay. A style that shows the sensitive side of Grenache. Its terroir and location give the wine extra energy, extra acidity and extra finesse! An average of 3500 bottles are made of this stylish white Grenache.

Trial analysis
Yellow-green brilliance, lively and exuberant on the nose. Rather floral and mineral than Southern fullness. Despite its expressive character, still discreet and fine. A Grenache that flirts with the style of a crystalline Riesling, this wine gives a tighter feel due to the acids present, where the Coma Blanca tastes a bit broader, fuller and denser.
