2022 Pepe Raventos Xarel-lo de la Vinya del Noguer Alt
£32.00
“Xarel·lo often tends to be a lighter white wine, but some examples stand out for their strength and precision. The 2020 Xarel·lo Vinya del Nogués from Pepe Raventós is one of the most enticing interpretations I’ve encountered. Made from biodynamic grapes from Penedès and aged in foudres, this yellow wine features aromas of grapefruit and apple with earthy undertones. It’s dry and creamy on the palate, with a refreshing and loose mouthfeel that leads to a vibrant, energetic pear-juice flavour and a very expressive, lasting finish. This is a skillfully crafted white wine, bottled without any additional sulphur.”
