$39.99
2021 - Xarel-lo
Fat and rigid with dense oily acid; centered around bergamot, tropical fruits and naval orange. Finishes with bracing acidity.
From 70 year old vines planted to 2 hectares of stony calcareous clay soils. The Xarel-lo is from a certified organic vineyard. The grapes are hand-harvested. Maceration lasts between 8-14 weeks, followed by spontaneous fermentation with mostly whole-clusters and indigenous yeasts that lasts 4-6 weeks in clay tinaja (clay) amphora. The wine spends around three months on the lees with weekly battonage. Aging takes place in the same amphora for four months. Unfined/Unfiltered.
