Vinya Janine ‘Xarel.lo’

Tasting notes

Winemaker’s notes: Very pale and transparent wine with a greenish tint, confirming its youth. Intriguing aromas offering a mixture of white fruits, pineapple and pleasant mineral notes. On the palate it is fresh and dry, with powerful structure (crisp acidity). The aftertaste is fruity, long and smooth, which is typical for the Xarel.lo grape variety.

Additional information

Although it has a very complicated and unique name, people are often unconsciously familiar with Xarel.lo since it is one of the three traditional grapes used in making Cava. Autochthonous to Catalonia; hence anyone who has tried bubbles from, for instance, Freixenet or Codorníu has probably had a taste of this variety.
Food pairing: Seafood dishes and tapas, arròs negre, and goose.
