Bright but golden yellow, this wine smells like briny honeydew served on a bed of gardenias. It’s well-rounded with a medium body, heightened acidity, and a waxy, oily texture with flavors of honeysuckle, soft lemons, green apple, and mango. There are also notes of, in the words of Ron Burgundy, “Lanolin?”

Waxy white flowers. Less fruit forward and very interesting.

Unfiltered 100% Xarello from certified biodynamic vineyards from the Penedès, aged in acacia barrels, which gives it an intriguing flavor. Austere and mineral

After a few hours of breathing, this wine was quite enjoyable. Crisp and refreshing, light on fruit.

Honeydew melon, mango, sea salt, acacia, honeysuckle, gardenias, beeswax. Rounded acid, medium bodied, juicy-oily texture, long floral-salty-slightly bitter finish. Mineral driven, briny, excels with food, balances texture with salty-floral notes.
