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.

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!
