Spain, Alt Penedès
Xarel·lo
Description
White is a monovarietal Xarel·lo wine from vineyards planted in 1974. The nutrientpoor soils at high altitude in Alt Penedés are ideal for this versatile variety. A youthful and vibrantly fruited wine with sweet herbal scents with fresh green fennel at it’s crescendo. This bottling is full of the fruit flavors typical of the Xarel·lo variety: tart green apple, Limonera pear, pineapple skin, and faint notes of Spanish jasmine. A wine that is at once intensely fruited while remaining lightly herbal and refreshingly mineral.
