Xarelina
Emilie Mutombo (Penedès)
Xarel-lo • 2021
A 100% Xarel-lo cuvée from Emilie Mutumbo. Perhaps the most representative of the area, the Xarel-lo cépage plays so perfectly into the salty, limestone terroir that radiates through the wines of this area of Penedès, and here’s no exception. Emilie macerates the fruit for ten days in whole bunches to gently bring out the structural character of the variety; the palate remains linear, saline and fresh. After the maceration the fruit is gently pressed off using an old manual press before going into stainless steel tanks for further elevage. At only 11% alcohol it’s a wine that’s at once gastronomic while also being incredible easy to drink.
