Xarel-lo is the best known and most treasured white grape in Penedès, used in making both still and sparkling wines. It is high in acid and precise, but with abundant texture and notes of orchard fruits. In addition, it is very terroir expressive, often showing clear notes of salt and chalk from the calcareous marine soils of the region. Sparkling wines made with Xarel-lo often show a particularly pretty mousse, and this is no exception: expect a lean, mineral sparkling wine with lots of salt spray and notes of apple and citrus.
