Country: Spain Region: Penedès Varietal: Xarel-lo Vintage: 2023 Colour: White Style: Dry Producer: Alemany i Corrió Description: In the little town of Vilafranca del Penedes in Cat aluña, Irene and Laurent are challenging the traditional perception of DO Penedes wine. Converting their vineyards from the typical Penedes high yields and abandoning all forms of chemical treatment and fertilizers, they follow basic organic practices. Much of the construction and equipping of their cellar was modest and homemade, including building their own tanks. Production remains small, yet as they identify further small vineyard sites their range has extended to include distinctive wines from the indigenous varietal Xarel-lo, which they choose to do extended fermentation with, using indigenous yeast and it is then left on its lees to increase the richness and complexity. Viticulture: With vines trained gobelet style, the vineyards are approximately 45 years old, on clay and limestone soils, yielding approximately 4000 kg / Ha. Practicing lutte raisonnée. Tasting Note: Crisp white fruit and apricot nose with a light nutty element. The aromas open up and become richer but still perfectly balanced. Dry, soft but fresh acidity. A lovely depth of mineral laced, grassy white fruit with hints of apricot and nuts. Food Matches: Seafood, Grilled Pork Sausage, Lamb chops Show more
