100% Xarel·lo from an organic vineyard owned by Marcelo Desvalls in the Massís del Garraf.
Viladellops Xarel·lo
Viladellops Xarel·lo was born to stand out and make things stand out. Its yellow-green colour and its full and fatty taste seek to go outside the box and offer you a different experience.
Here we have a coupage, with a variety, the Xarel·lo, coming from old vines, which define its character and its authenticity. It is a wine made without the intervention of wood. Xarel·lo is a fresh wine with notes of white fruits and aniseeds. Each year, the best parcels of xarel·lo are chosen to make a wine with a distinct Mediterranean character. Manual selection to lower SO2 levels we work in stainless-steel vinification with lees working throughout the winter period. Aromas of Mediterranean forest, white fruit and aniseeds (fennel) in the mouth highlight the minerality and salty sensations that provide a fresh and long aftertaste.
