2021 Costers del Sio La Boscana Blanco, Catalonia

Costers del Sió La Boscana Blanco is a bright, expressive white wine from inland Catalonia, made in the Costers del Segre DO where altitude and continental influences bring freshness to a warm Mediterranean landscape. The estate lies near Lleida, surrounded by woodland and open farmland, with hot days balanced by cool nights that help preserve natural acidity and aromatic clarity.

Costers del Sió is a family owned winery run by the Porcioles Buixó family, who have played an important role in lifting the profile of Costers del Segre through sustainable viticulture and a strong focus on site expression. La Boscana takes its name from the forest that borders the vineyards, and the wine reflects a modern Catalan style that values balance, drinkability and purity of fruit.

La Boscana Blanco is typically a blend of local and international varieties, commonly Macabeo and Chardonnay, with the exact mix varying by vintage. In the glass it is fresh and inviting, showing aromas of lemon, pear and white peach alongside soft floral notes and a gentle herbal lift. The palate is clean and medium bodied, with lively acidity, subtle texture and a crisp, lightly mineral finish that keeps the wine refreshing and food friendly.

This is a versatile white that shines with grilled seafood, tapas, salads, roast chicken or Mediterranean vegetable dishes. It also works beautifully as an aperitif, especially when well chilled, thanks to its brightness and easy charm.

Costers del Sió La Boscana Blanco is best enjoyed young while its freshness and vibrancy are at their peak, though it can hold for a short period in the cellar. It offers a clear snapshot of contemporary Catalonia. Sun drenched yet balanced, approachable yet expressive.
