No notes. Malvasia grown in Penedes. Round & soft. Not flabby but little acid…

This is a great wine for the money! Mainly Xarel-lo with Malvasia de Sitges and Maccabeu. High toned lemon, pear, and minerality in spades. Great texture. All around awesome Penedes white.

2013 Vintage. Pale lemon and very bright. Terrific minerality on the nose and palate. Crisp pear on a long finish. This has a lot of personality

Powerful mineral aroma. Lots of electric energy but maybe the tension is not as intense as the aroma and the acidity would suggest. Beautifully pure and integrated.

Organic hand-picked fruit, Xarel·lo, Xarel·lo Vermell, Malvasía de Sitges, Macabeo, aged 4 months on lees. 12.5% ABV

Brisk refreshing acidity really wakes one up, green apple, yellow grapefruit with pith, gravel/cement.

Good pick, Would of enjoyed a lil more lees, to buffer the acidity and round the wine a bit more.
