Grape – Xarel-lo

Natural white wine can take on many forms; from bone-dry, pale in colour and decidedly classical, all the way through to wines with a much deeper, golden hue and notable substance. Hazy, vinous, and textured, with a plump succulence that coats the palate. We hope that our wide-ranging selection will throw up some new discoveries and maybe even take you out of your comfort zone to pastures new.

From traditional direct-press to wines that are allowed to mingle on the skins for just a short time, lending deeper, complex tones; whether you live to worship white Burgundy or seek out the most rugged, off-the-radar bottles from remote Italian or Spanish backwaters, you’ll find much to explore here.

Ramon Jané
Baudili 2022

Simple, easygoing white - the still version of Tinc Set, which comes from the same base wine. It’s a blend of Xarel-lo & Parellada that is cold-pressed and fermented in steel, which keeps the wine squeaky clean and very drinkable. Think of it as a still Cava. Find out more.

Xarel-lo Inox 2022

Fresh, fragrant, steel tank-only Xarel-lo from a single hectare plot of 30 year old vines, the very first Ignasi planted himself at the estate when he was just a teenager. As usual with this grape there are savoury spice aromas mixing with pithy Mediterranean citrus, the vibrant acidity tailing long into the finish making for a quenching wine that keeps you coming back for more.

Xarel-lo Amphora 2021

The eponymous vessel always seems to lend a diffused, wide-open quality to the aromas of a wine - here white peach, melon and prickly white peppercorn provide a highly fragrant lift to the overall shape and balance. Tannins from the short maceration feel sanded-down and granular, raw lemon citrus gives a piquant twang, cutting through the smoky, pithy white grapefruit and tailing long into the finish.

Joan Rubió/Tiques
Nituix 2018

As with all of Joan’s wines, the whole bunches are destemmed and the grapes macerated for around one week. Joan doesn’t ever press, and therefore loses a big amount of his yield but he prefers this more soft and gentle juice. Find out more.
