Description

"A fantastic nose that is filled with ripe white pears, golden apple and yellow peaches. It opens up to give a tropical fruit party of mango and pineapple. It is both full bodied but also high in acidity. There is a minerality edge to this wine, potentially due to the age of the vines - 50+ year old vines."

 

--------THE PRODUCER--------

Mas Candi

Mas Candi is a revolutionary winery located in the Penèdes region of north-eastern Spain. It was started up in just 2006 by four viticulture and winemaking students from France. They are a tiny winemaking venture that use solely their own grapes from their own organically farmed vineyards. Their flagship grape is Xarel.lo, one of the most under-rated white grapes in all of Spain. They have made it their life's work over the last decade to produce serious wines from autochthonous varieties.

 

--------THE GRAPE--------

Xarel-lo

Xarel.lo is one of Spain's best-kept secrets when it comes to white wines. If it is known at all, it is as one of the main varieties in the production of the best sparkling wines in Spain. 

 

--------THE REGION--------

Penedes

Penèdes is the vast region in northeastern Spain. The fair majority of the Penedes' claim to fame it from the "Champagne of Spain": Cava. Cava is a sparkling wine that is made in exactly the same way as Champagne (bottle-fermented/methode traditionelle) just with Spanish grape varietals. Those white grape varietals are: Xarel.lo, Parellada and Macabeo and Tempranillo and Garnacha can be used for the roses.
