“Absolutely delicious.“ - Decanter, 95 points

Enric Soler has all the necessary minerals to make great wine. He produces a range of daringly beautiful whites grown on soils with distinctly different mineral contents, where each vineyard imparts an elemental signature to the fruit. This pure Xarello is sourced from a biodynamically-farmed, single-hectare vineyard on ‘radical clay’, as Enric calls it, named ‘Espenyalluchs’. It underwent a wild yeast fermentation and spent 8 months in 4 and 5 year-old Burgundy barrels to harmonise the young wine without imparting oak flavours.

The aromas are markedly mineral, with impressions of powdered stone and chalk dust, very pure and chiselled, and then a cascade of crystalline lemon and white peach that broadens as it reaches the open waters of your palate. If you want a flex to show your friends you know your wines, here’s your ticket. Only 7 barrels were produced (2,670 bottles). 12.5% alc. Drink now-2030.

Organic/ biodynamic.

Press review:

Decanter: “Flinty, crisp and delicately herbal nose; this already has so much poise and purity to the fresh, citric fruit profile. On the palate the acidity slowly builds to a crescendo, driving the crystalline flavours into a long finish, where the telltale, spicy hint of fennel opens up. Certified organic, aged for 8 months in 4th- and 5th-use, 300-litre French oak barrels. Absolutely delicious. Drink now-2032.“ 95 points

Tamlyn Currin: “Enric Soler showed the world that Xarello didn't just have a voice; Xarello could be spectacular.”
