Vineyard and Winemaking

The harvest took place in September 2023, seeking to preserve the natural freshness of the variety. Alcoholic fermentation lasted approximately 12 days at a controlled temperature of 15 ºC. Subsequently, the wine aged for 4 months on fine lees, providing greater volume and complexity without losing vibrancy.

Tasting Notes

Visually, it presents a bright yellow color. The nose reveals citrus and aniseed notes, accompanied by a background of white fruit. On the palate, it offers a good entry, a slightly unctuous texture, and a well-integrated acidity that balances the whole. The finish is long, fresh, and harmonious.

Pairing and Serving

Ideal for accompanying salads, xató, rice dishes, roasted vegetables, mild cheeses, white meats, and oriental cuisine.
Recommended serving temperature: 7–9 ºC.

Xarel·lo 2023 is an honest and expressive white, capturing the Mediterranean spirit of Penedès with the freshness and natural elegance of the variety.
