What is Clar i Net, and what makes this wine special?
Clar i Net is a wine from Celler Mas Pòlit that stands out for one particularly interesting feature: its connection with black Grenache, one of the traditional grape varieties of the Mediterranean winemaking landscape. It offers a different way to explore this grape and the winemaking possibilities of the Empordà region.
When we think of black Grenache, we usually associate it with red wines. However, a wine’s colour does not depend solely on the colour of the grape skins. The winemaking process also plays a role, particularly the length of time the juice remains in contact with the skins during vinification.
That is why white wines made from red grape varieties generate so much interest among wine enthusiasts. They allow us to explore a familiar grape from a different perspective and discover new possibilities within the same wine-growing region.
Clar i Net offers the opportunity to discover this interpretation of black Grenache in the context of the DO Empordà. It is an interesting choice for anyone who enjoys wines with a strong sense of place and distinctive styles that break away from the usual.
How is white wine made from black Grenache?
Making white wine from red grapes is based on one fundamental principle: limiting the juice’s contact with the skins, which contain many of the pigments responsible for the colour of dark-skinned grapes.
In this type of winemaking, grape selection, harvest timing and fruit handling are important factors. After harvesting, the grapes are processed to obtain the juice while controlling colour extraction. Fermentation converts the sugars in the juice into alcohol and helps develop the wine’s profile.
The final result depends on several factors, including the grape variety, the grapes’ ripeness, the winemaking team’s decisions and the fermentation conditions. This is why two wines made from the same grape variety can offer very different experiences.
For white wines made from red grape varieties, this technique makes it possible to explore a different expression of the grape and demonstrates the importance of winemaking expertise. It is not simply a matter of changing a wine’s colour, but of creating a wine with its own identity.
What makes Clar i Net particularly interesting is the opportunity to discover black Grenache from a different perspective. For specific details about its production, composition and characteristics, consult the latest information on its product page.

The DO Empordà: a region that gives wine its character
Talking about Clar i Net also means talking about the Empordà, a wine-growing region in north-eastern Catalonia with a distinctive Mediterranean identity. Its proximity to the sea, the influence of the Pyrenees and the presence of the Tramuntana wind all contribute to an environment that shapes vineyard management.
The DO Empordà encompasses a variety of landscapes, with vineyards located both on the plains and in mountainous areas. In certain locations, slate or llicorella soils are predominant, a characteristic feature of some of the region’s wine-growing areas. The combination of soil, climate, grape variety and cultivation practices contributes to the diversity of wines produced here.
The Tramuntana is another of the Empordà’s most recognisable features. This wind can influence vineyard conditions and is part of everyday agricultural life in the area. Together with sun exposure, rainfall and the characteristics of each plot, it shapes the environment in which the grapes ripen.
In this setting, Celler Mas Pòlit is a family-owned winery in the Empordà that works to express the relationship between its wines and the local terroir. Discovering its wines is also a way to explore the diversity of mountain wines and the distinctive character of this Catalan region.

What food can you pair with Clar i Net?
The right food pairing depends on the wine’s specific characteristics, including its acidity, structure, aromatic intensity and texture. Before deciding on the ideal accompaniment, it is therefore worth checking the Clar i Net product page and following the serving and tasting recommendations provided there, when available.
As a general guide, white wines can pair very well with a range of Mediterranean-inspired dishes. Here are a few ideas for planning a meal that explores their versatility:
- Fish: Oven-baked or grilled fish, as well as dishes with delicate sauces, can be a good match for fresh-style white wines.
- Seafood: Prawns, mussels and other seafood dishes offer opportunities for Mediterranean-inspired pairings.
- Rice dishes: Seafood rice or vegetable-based recipes can be interesting options, depending on the intensity of both the dish and the wine.
- Seasonal vegetables: Roasted vegetables, asparagus and dishes prepared with olive oil can help create balanced menus.
- Cheese: Some mild or medium-intensity cheeses can work well, although their texture and flavour intensity should be taken into account.
These suggestions are intended as general guidance and do not replace the producer’s specific pairing recommendations. The best combination is one that respects both the characteristics of the wine and the flavours of the dish.
A useful tip is to serve Clar i Net at the temperature recommended by the winery, allowing its characteristics to express themselves without masking its nuances. If you are unsure, check the product page before opening the bottle.
