Enric Soler is the king of Xarello.
For more than 10 years, he has been making his wonderful NUN from the grapes he inherited from his grandfather.
In 2011, he had the opportunity to buy one hectare of stony land, a vineyard called Espenyalluchs, where he planted... xarello, of course.
This cuvée allows the wine lover to realise the potential of this grape, even in young vines. Biodynamic farming.
Vinification
Production is little more than 1,000 bottles.
Fermentation in 300 litre French oak vats, where the wine is aged for about 8 months.
Storage potential
5 to 10 years.
To serve
In a large Burgundy type glass.
Trial analysis
Light colour.
On the nose, delicate floral notes (almond blossom, santal), and Mediterranean spices (thyme and fennel, in particular).
A long finish. This wine has still some years of ageing potentiel.
Surprising qualities for such young vines!
