| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
DONENO |
New in Vintages, this 100% organic Xarello grown in Penedes near the Mediterranean coast just west of Barcelona has a bright light straw colour and a gently floral, slightly spicy, faintly honeyed, ripe, wintermelon nose. Dry, medium to medium-light bodied, bright, fresh, citrusy-cantelope fruit flavours with a lingering, crisp finish. Versatile and ready-to-drink, this crowd-pleaser has 12.5% alcohol and 2 g/L residual sugar with a screwcap closure. Perfect with seafood, cream-based pasta dishes and Sunday brunch - especially an omelette.

A Best Buy |
| TASTING NOTE: Xarel-lo (char-ell-oh) is an uncommon Spanish grape that's better known as a blending wine with other indigenous varieties to produce Cava. In recent years, modern tastes have amplified the desire for new styles of wine and Xarel-lo has delivered, mixing flavours of tree fruit with floral aromas and hints of raw almonds. |
