History Enric Soler

A renowned professor in oenology, Enric Soler began to make his own wine when he inherited a small vineyard from his grandfather - 70 year-old xarellos vines. Thgis vineyard, 'la vinya del Taus' is only 0.89 ha. Since then, Enric has bought some others blocs, so that his vineyard has grown up (!) to 1.5 hectare.

Varieties Enric Soler

Only one variety: Xarello. Old vines of their grape give exceptionally fruity and mineral wines. If the yield is kept low, these wines show a perfect balance between body and acidity, with aromas such like almond blossom, citrus and quince. All this makes it very adapted to aging in oak barrels.

Terroir Enric Soler

On a small surface (1.5 ha) one finds three different types of soil: sand (45% of the surface), silt (29%) and clay (26%). The climate is positively Mediterranean. The villages of Sabanells and Font Rubi lay a little higher than the Villafranca valley but are still under the freshening influence of the sea.

Vinification Enric Soler

Harvesting by hand, of course! For the NUN, fermentation and ageing in French oak barrels, 60% new and 40% one wine. Only indigenous yeasts are used. The idea being to obtain a wine which is as pure as possible. The Improvisacio cuvée is fermented in concrete eggs, mainly, and partly in oak barrels. As for the NUN, neither laboratory yeasts nor corrections in the winemaking. The concrete eggs, much in favour among biodynamic winemakers, create a form of vortex which may help stabilise the wines. One also avoid the woody taste, and no bâtonnage is needed for the vortex insures that the yeast move enough.

Description

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.
