A precise and quietly powerful expression of Xarel·lo from the single vineyard “La Torreta” in Sant Llorenç d’Hortons. The nose is mineral and composed — crushed stone, lemon peel and green almond layered with subtle herbal tones and a faint smoky edge. On the palate, it is structured yet fluid, with citrus, white peach and a gentle savoury grip carried by firm acidity and a deep, saline core. There is both clarity and depth here — a wine of restraint, tension and age-worthy architecture.

Vinification

Hand-harvested in 250 kg crates. Destemmed and given a short pre-fermentation skin maceration in cement. Spontaneous fermentation begins in cement, then the wine is transferred mid-fermentation to old acacia barrels to complete fermentation and age for roughly one year on its lees without racking. Before the next harvest, the barrels are emptied and the wine rests again in cement for natural settling. Bottled on a descending moon, unfined, unfiltered and without any additions.

Natural sediment and slight cloudiness may appear — a reflection of minimal intervention and authenticity.

A serious, mineral Xarel·lo that balances Mediterranean breadth with crystalline precision.
