Falset Marca Martius Verema Tardana Blanco

The Falset-Marçà Verema Tardana Blanco is an elegant white wine from the Spanish DO Montsant, a region in Catalonia renowned for its rugged, limestone-rich soils and a climate of hot, dry summers with cool nights. This combination of terroir and weather gives the wines a unique balance of concentration, aromatic intensity, and natural freshness. The Verema Tardana Blanco is made from Garnacha Blanca grapes sourced from older vines, harvested late in the season—hence the term “verema tardana,” or late harvest. This delayed ripening allows the grapes to develop high sugar levels and a richness of flavors while maintaining natural acidity, resulting in a wine that is both full-bodied and elegant.

In the glass, the wine displays a bright golden color with subtle green reflections. Its bouquet is complex and inviting, featuring aromatic layers of orange blossom, acacia, and ripe citrus fruits, complemented by gentle notes of peach and exotic fruits such as mango. Beneath these primary aromas are delicate hints of honey and light vanilla, derived from a brief maturation in French oak barrels, adding depth without overpowering the wine’s freshness. This aromatic harmony makes the Verema Tardana Blanco refined and intriguing.

On the palate, the wine is velvety and full, with a creamy texture perfectly balanced by a lively, fresh acidity. The combination of ripe citrus, honeyed notes, and floral undertones lingers in a long, elegant finish. Its structure is rich and layered, yet smooth and accessible, creating a harmonious interplay of complexity and finesse.

The winemaking process reinforces these characteristics: after careful harvesting, the grapes are gently pressed and fermented at controlled temperatures to preserve all fruity and floral nuances. The brief oak maturation adds subtle roundness and extra complexity while maintaining the wine’s natural vibrancy and brightness.

The Falset-Marçà Verema Tardana Blanco is a striking expression of the Montsant terroir, demonstrating how late harvest, old vines, and careful craftsmanship converge to create a white wine that is rich, elegant, and memorable.
