Èlia 2025
Minimal-intervention natural Xarel·lo from Penedès, grown on clay-limestone soil, with 12% vol. and two weeks of skin maceration. A wine of character, more for the table than for aperitif, with more volume and structure than a conventional white: less vibrant and more textural, ideal for those seeking whites with presence.
Serve between 11 and 13 °C in a wide glass. Maceration and tannins give it stability: it will drink well for 3 or 4 years and gain complexity over time.

- Alcohol12% Vol.
- ColorDeep, hazy color, unfiltered.
- NoseComplex and open, with ripe yellow fruit, quince and nuts (almond, hazelnut) over a background of light honey and beeswax. The clay-limestone soil leaves a mineral note of stone and gypsum.
- PalateRound, silky entry, with moderate acidity that makes it broad and gentle. Maceration brings structure and a fine astringency from skin tannins. Medium-to-full body and an unctuous texture, with candied citrus and nuts returning. Bitter, spiced finish with a long, saline and mineral close.
- PairingRice dishes, oily fish and charcoal-grilled food. Roasted vegetables. Semi-cured and washed-rind cheeses. Poultry and gently spiced dishes or Asian cuisine.
