Production notes

After a light skin maceration during 4 hours, the grapes were lightly pressed, and then fermented in stainless steel tanks during 12 days at an average temperature of 16°C. After finished fermentation the wine was kept in contact with the thin lees from the fermentation during 3 months with daily battonage.

Tasting notes

Pale yellow colour. Very Intense aroma of flowers and white fruit with a citric and mineral reminiscence. Fresh and smooth, full of nuances. Floral and citric notes are more present in the mouth, good acidity and long aftertaste. Serving temperature: 10 – 12° C

(Vintage 2021)

An elegant and mineral white with white blossom, pear and a peachy accent to the nose. Dry and chalky in texture with incisive, fresh acidity. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Vegan. Drink now.

J.H., February 2019 (Vintage 2018)

Organically farmed Xarello (85%) and Sauvignon Blanc (15%) grown high up, 'Close to the sky, on the top of the highest Penedès mountains', according to the producer's website. Four hours on skins, fermented in tank at 16 ºC and then on lees, with stirring, for three months.
Quite smoky to start with and this blows off to reveal intense white peach and just a slight herbal citrus note. Very tight and almost lean on the palate though there is plenty of fruit, its just extremely taut, crisp and zesty. Bone dry with a light dry grip on the finish. Piercing freshness rather than great persistence.
