Pre-Labor Day festivities with friends.

Bruised pear, slightly oxidative, white flowers, dried citrus peel, crackling minerality.

Mineral- and acid-driven with citrusy overtones, this definitely delivers a cava-like experience. Enjoyed on a sunny day while making BBQ pork ribs.

Xarello is one of those grapes I feel a kinship with. Clearly, I must have lived in Catalonia in a previous life. A waxy, honeycomb explosion with sea salt. It held up to a fried prawn head with chorizo.

Love the acidity on this white. Nice and minerally. If that's a word?
