Xarel·lo Pairal 2021

The 2021 Xarel.lo Pairal has intense honeyed notes and hints of nuts, perhaps the rusticity and character of the chestnut wood from the barrels where 50% of the wine fermented and matured for six months, while the rest was in stainless steel. It's characterful and tasty, with a dry sensation in the palate and a stony feeling to it, like most of the wines, going beyond the variety. It was produced with grapes from very old vines, east-facing and on soils with a high percentage of active limestone. 2,000 bottles were filled in October 2022.

A beautiful vintage of this classic wine. Aromatic and delicately savoury from the fermentation in chestnut wood; ripe green fruits, hazelnuts, white peach and even a touch of lanolin. Chalky, bright and effortlessly long. A superb Xarel·lo.
