Xarel·lo, emblem of Espiells
The wine that best expresses the terroir of Espiells. South-facing, the vineyards bask in sunlight for most of the day, while their privileged setting—with views of Montserrat and a landscape dotted with cypresses—shields them from wind and excessive heat. Vinified with precision to reveal structure, tension, and character. Fermented and aged in barrel, without losing its freshness.
Colour: Bright golden yellow with straw-coloured highlights, clean and of remarkable visual intensity.
Nose: Complex and elegant, combining ripe white fruit and vineyard peach. Mediterranean herbs, fennel, and fresh almonds intertwine with delicate hints of vanilla, dried fruits, and a subtle toastiness from barrel ageing.
Palate: Broad and structured, with a silky texture that balances freshness and volume. Notable minerality and vibrant acidity provide depth and longevity. The long, persistent finish reveals a distinctive saline touch and a delicate smokiness, adding further complexity.
