A sunlit swirl of texture and fragrance, the 2022 Llunari is an orange wine with real grace and lift. Made entirely from Garnatxa Blanca, it gleams a deep gold with amber reflections and opens with aromas of quince, orange peel and wild fennel. The palate is both crisp and textural, a fresh, zesty entry leading into layers of citrus, dried apricot and almond skin. There’s a subtle grip from skin contact, but it’s beautifully integrated, creating a wine that feels bright, tactile and endlessly moreish. The finish hums with Mediterranean warmth and a whisper of raw almonds, quietly captivating from first sip to last.

For when: the sun’s dipping low and conversation feels easy.
Pairs with: mezze, grilled fish, or roasted vegetables with tahini and lemon.
If this wine were a moment, it’d be golden hour on a Catalan hillside.

Herència Altés, based in Terra Alta in southern Catalonia, is a family-run estate that has become a beacon for elegant, authentic expressions of Garnatxa. Founded by Nuria Altés and Rafa De Haan, the winery is dedicated to organic farming and low-intervention winemaking, shining a light on the region’s old vines and limestone-rich soils.

The Llunari project captures their spirit of experimentation, a skin-contact white made from 100% Garnatxa Blanca, fermented with indigenous yeasts and minimal sulphur to let the grape’s natural character shine. The 2022 vintage radiates freshness and Mediterranean soul: pure fruit, gentle texture, and that unmistakable Altés touch, a wine that bridges tradition and trend with effortless style.
