Guillem 2025
Minimal-intervention natural Xarel·lo from Penedès, grown on clay-limestone soil, with 12% vol., two weeks of skin maceration and 3 months in clay amphora. A deep, earthy and integrated wine with a creamy texture and no hint of wood or vanilla.
Serve between 12 and 14 °C in a wide glass, and open it a couple of minutes beforehand. Drink now and over the next 3 or 4 years, and store it cool, lying flat and away from light.

- Alcohol12% Vol.
- ColorSoft gold, hazy and unfiltered.
- NoseCandied yellow fruit (quince, dried apricot), orange peel and toasted nuts. The clay adds a background of damp earth, ceramic and limestone, with an elegant oxidative touch.
- PalateBroad, soft and very silky entry, with the freshness behind rather than up front. The maceration tannins remain fine and rounded, with a gentle astringency that gives grip without roughness. Medium-to-full body and a creamy texture, with candied fruit and citrus returning. Long finish, slightly bitter, saline and mineral.
- PairingCreamy rice dishes, oily fish and charcoal-grilled food. Roasted vegetables, mushrooms and poultry. Spiced Asian cuisine. Semi-cured or washed-rind cheeses.
