Located in the Garraf Massif, a rugged mountain massif that extends to the Mediterranean Sea, the soils found throughout Finca Viladellops’ 60 ha estate are low-fertility limestone-based soils studded with marine fossils and sediment. Aged in stainless tanks on fine lees, the 2016 Xarel·lo offers lilting, subtle aromas of pear and apple, prairie flowers, apple mint, and freshly milled wheat flour. Softly textured on the palate with fruit held aloft by a beam of bright acidity. Finishes with Asian pear skin, lemon pith, and wet pomace stone. 12.0% ABV | Sample
