White Wine Pardas Xarel·lo Pur 2021
Availability: In stock
This is the new vintage of the wine Pardas Xarel·lo Pur, a splendid varietal Xarel·lo produced by Celler Pardas.
A precise expression of Penedès' most representative and age-worthy native white variety, this Spanish white wine is sorted from five organically farmed low-yielding vineyards.
Harvested by hand and selected on site and in the cellar, the grapes were refrigerated, destemmed and gently pressed before being cold-macerated for 12 hours with the skins. Then, the free-run juice was fermented in 500-litre French oak barrels and a 1,600-litre concrete egg.
After that, the wine Pardas Xarel·lo Pur 2021 was subsequently aged for 12 months.
Finally, this Crianza white wine was stabilized and clarified before being bottled.
Pair this white wine from Penedès with white meat, rice dishes and creamy cheese. Aerate before drinking.

---|---|
Nose | As usual, the charm of this varietal Xarel·lo lies in its somewhat restrained and subtle character, conveniently enlivened by the nicely integrated wood. Aromas of white and yellow fruit, alongside notes of flowers and aromatic herbs over a background of toast, spices and honey, all of them underscored by a mineral note. |
Palate | Substantial and solid, with a tight structure and a significant complexity, the palate of this white wine of Celler Pardas is reminiscent of citrus and aromatic herbs, with a mineral note which becomes ever more prominent, framed by some delicate tropical notes. First-class acidity, a distinctive feature of the Xarel·lo variety, and long finish with an aftertaste of spices, mineral and garrigue. |
Our personal opinion | Aged-worthy and terroir-oriented, the wine Pardas Xarel·lo Pur 2021 is one of the best Xarel·lo wines produced in Penedès. |
