“Miranius”, which translates loosely into Catalan as “peers into nests”, a tribute to the foxes which sometimes roam their biodiverse vineyards looking for a snack, is 100% Xarel·lo. Fermentation proceeds spontaneously in stainless steel, and the wine rests on its fine lees in steel for six months before being bottled. “Miranius” displays the brisk, agile side of Xarel·lo, a variety whose relatively neutral fruit character allows for a powerful articulation of calcareous minerality. Xarel·lo’s naturally high acidity brings balance in this warm Mediterranean climate, and indeed this wine is bright, saline, and immensely refreshing, as well as a tremendous value. 11.5% abv

Natalia Jessa is the mastermind behind Gota which has a simple yet bold objective: craft aromatically-driven, authentic fine wines of Portugal, while remaining value-conscious. Her many prior travels throughout Portuguese wine country on behalf of one of Europe’s major food markets enabled Natalia to develop invaluable relationships and gain access to some of the most exciting and as-of-yet undiscovered wineries and vineyards. She collaborates with them, as negociant, to select grapes that capture the optimal expression of a vintage. Vineyards are dry-farmed. Vines are ungrafted. To preserve fruit aromatics, winemaking utilizes ambient yeast and minimizes oak use. Adhering to tradition, wines are varietal blends and grapes are only native (no international varietals). Gota means "drop", referring to the humble origins of this project.

The varietal 2020 Garnacha Blanca was produced with a variety that was almost extinct in the region, a grape they need to pick early to achieve the profile they are looking for, moderate alcohol (12.5% this year) and fluid. It was fermented in stainless steel with indigenous yeast and matured in a combination of Flextank (plastic egg), 500-liter oak barrels, 2,000-liter Stockinger oak vat and stainless steel. The grapes come from a 13-year-old vineyard in the village of Fitero on thick gravel and limestone soils. It has an expressive nose, more aromatic than the variety normally is, with a hint of creaminess, but there's a chalky sensation on the palate. There's purity and crystalline quality, very precise and fine. It's pungent, and the oak is neatly integrated into the wine. The whites are getting better and better. Another incredible bargain.

François Bitouzet produces a beautifully textured Aligoté from a parcel that was planted above Meursault in 1975, and the age of the vines provides low yields of around 50 hl/ha, crucial for this workhorse grape. The wine is fermented and settled in tank then rests in used 228-liter barrels on the fine lees from his production of Meursault Premier Cru, adding complexity and density. This kind of quality from the Aligoté grape is rare and we encourage clients to jump all over it! Production is under 150 cases.

After brief maceration in the press, the free-run must is selected, the first must which comes out of the press by gravity. This is then fermented at a low temperature in small oak vats. Once fermentation is complete, the wine is left on its fine lees for 3 months in an Oeuf de Beaune (concrete wine egg) to preserve the aromas and give body on the palate. Aging for 6 months in new French oak casks (Nevers and the Normandy town of Les Loges) with a light toast. After that it will undergo a process of refinement and rounding in the bottle for a further 18 months.
