O.D.

Penedès

Vineyard

If there is a good place to grow Xarel•lo, it is undoubtedly the Penedès. Its climatic diversity, and the contrast between maximum and minimum temperatures, make this variety reach only levels of excellence.El Xitxarel·lo was born in the estate of Mas Cortei, located 340m at sea level in the municipality of Granada, in the heart of Alt Penedès.

The vineyards were planted by the ancient arrabassaires during the decade of the 50s, and are an example of the good adaptation of Xarel•lo in the region. The vineyards, desolate in a clayey and Sandy terroir, have a great capacity for water accumulation thanks to the stream that borders the vineyard. A well-born and well-bred wine in an ideal place!

Tasting Notes

Pale yellow Color with green tones, clean and bright. First of all, we notice aromas where the White, ripe fruit is presented, dominated by a citrus and floral background with hints of subtle fennel and Jasmine. In the mouth it has a good fresh mineral attack with a silky step. Aftertaste with good acidity accompanied by fruity touches, and creamy that will give a good volume and density characteristic of Xarel•lo with a long and pleasant finish.

Pairing

We recommend pairing El Xitxarel·lo with fish and seafood dishes, salads, pasta, sushi, rice, risottos and also white meats.
