Description
Textural skin contact white from winemaker Maria Barrena in Penedes, Spain.
Made up of 85% Xarel-lo fermented on the skins for 18 days in harvest vats, with a little directly pressed Parellada. After fermentation the wines were assembled and transferred to clay amphoras where they remained for 6 months before bottling. Unfined, unfiltered, very minimal sulphites added before bottling.
The grapes come primarily from a old vineyard called ‘La Baixada de les Bruixes’ (forest parcel, meaning ‘The Witch’s Path’) in the heart of the Baix Penedés region where the soils are generally very poor, leading to low yields but a great concentration in the grapes. These old bush vines are surrounded by a rich biodiversity, encouraging a natural balance in the vineyard that finds its way into the wines. Part of the parcel is also in the ‘Foix’ natural park.
85% Xarel-lo, 15% Parellada
