Aigua de Llum de Vall Llach
Enric Costa wanted to plant in one of the wildest and most
magical areas of his terrains-2000 vines of a variety which
enchanted him: Viognier. After a patient wait of no less than six
years, the same vines that once had a fragile, almost sickly
aspect, finally gave their first grape. The entire team at the
Celler was taken by surprise not only by the quality of the
grapes once treated, but also by the originality of the flavours
and aromas that they gave us as well.
It was fate who decided that when the Celler believed that moment
had arrived in which to show these results, the Celler Vall Llach
foundation had just happened to reach 10 years. Therefore, it was
decided that this Viognier would be used to celebrate our tenth
anniversary, giving way to the birth of Aigua de Llum. This is a
collection which is not intended to be highly exploited
commercially, but rather reserved for the friends of the Celler
or passionate specialty collectors and only to be released for
those vintages which the Celler deems exceptional. This bottle
was dedicated to the poet Miquel Martí i Pol for his
intimate relationship with Celler Vall Llach and in his memory we
have named the wine after an excerpt from his poem entitled
"Solstici".
