Laser-focused and bright, combining creaminess and fresh citrus, riper fruit, and some nutty, earthy tones. The wine hits your mid-palate like a lightning bolt and lingers for a persistent finish even after the acid fades.

Enric Soler

Enric, a former award-winning Sommelier in Catalunya, has now spent 15 vintages re-invigorating and re-inventing the image of Xarel-lo in Penedes. This indigenous Catalan grape has recently become more prevalent in quality wines, such as extended-lees-aged Cavas, and turning heads as still white wines. In my view, Xarel-lo is reminiscent of an earthier Chardonnay and, in Enric's hands, can be easily mistaken in a blind for a precise and mineral Puligny.

The 2019 Espenyalluchs Xarel.lo comes from a 0.98-hectare vineyard planted in 2011 on stony soils on a slope at 400 meters in altitude. It fermented in used 300-liter French barriques with indigenous yeasts and without any enological products. This was bottled at 13% alcohol with a pH of 3.07 and 6.3 grams of acidity (tartaric) after eight months in barrel. This is still young. It's a little minty and balsamic, and it has a creamy texture, very complete with depth and complexity. It has citrus freshness with ripeness, denoting a very complete vintage. A very good year. It's amazing how these young vines behave... 2,670 bottles produced. It was bottled in May 2020.
