Vins El Cep
OT Blanc de terrer
Penedes, Spain
2022
Xarello
This pioneering Penedès farm was formed by four historic wine growing families in 1980 to make wines from vineyards they've been farming since 1448. Organic since 2001 and farming biodynamically since 2003, they remain one of the region's most progressive producers.
The winemaking for this wine is very gentle, using a low-pressure pneumatic press, with only a 45-50% must extraction. Fermentation begins spontaneously and is carried out in small stainless steel tanks.
A dry and mineral heavy white with juicy acidity.
Tasting notes: wet stone, white fruits, steel, orange, apricot
Pairing: salads, fried foods, fish, strong herbs
