The 2003 El Rocallis is 100% Incrozzio Manzonni, a cross of Pinot Blanc and Riesling. It spent four months in French oak and 42 months in bottle prior to release. It offers a unique aromatic profile of baking spices, mineral, apricot, and an assortment of dried fruits. Creamy on the palate, it is dry, rich, and well balanced with several years of aging potential. Drink it over the next eight years. Can Rafols dels Caus is located in the Garraf Massif which forms part of the Catalan coastal mountain range making this a Mediterranean-influenced terroir. The estate covers 450 hectares and is owned and run by the brilliant Carlos Esteva. These are wines that reflect the unique perspective of Carlos Esteva and are worth a search of the marketplace.
