The wine

Aigua de Llum is an exuberant single varietal Viognier, a white with good volume, which has increased in elegance with each new vintage, carefully styled to avoid any invasive woody notes and to move towards the perfect balance between fruit and oak.

It’s a low production wine, which pays homage to the great Catalan poet Miquel Martí i Pol, a friend and spiritual guide of the winery since its foundation. Its name, Aigua de Llum ('water of light') actually derives from a poem by Martí i Pol called Solstici, and a small fragment of it appears on the wine’s label.

Wine critics reviewsReviews by Parker

The one white here, the 2018 Aigua de Llum is a ripe and generously oaked pure Viognier from 25-year-old vines that are currently being converted to organic farming. It fermented half in new 300-liter oak barrels and half in stainless steel and matured in new 500-liter French oak barrels for four months. It's still too much new oak for me, but the extra freshness of 2018 makes it feel better integrated. The wine is still quite powerful at 15% alcohol, so it's not a shy or austere white at all. 649 bottles were filled in May 2019.

The winery

Celler Vall Llach

Celler Vall Llach

Celler Vall Llach was founded at the beginning of the 1990s by the singer Lluís Llach and the notary Enric Costa in the town of Porrera, opting for a controlled micro-production of their estates and “trossos” (century-old vineyards), and looking for quality over and above quantity.
