"The smoky and flinty 2019 Textures de Pedra was produced with 50% Xarel.lo Vermell and equal parts of Sumoll and Bastard Negre from the higher vineyard on the property that was planted 20 years ago. The base wine matured for nine months in concrete with the lees and then was put to referment in bottle, where it matured with the lees for some 42 months. It's spicy and smoky with an almost meaty side to it, like barbecued meat, almost savory, with a golden, deeper color. The palate feels polished and integrated, with small bubbles and gentle acidity. It has 12.5% alcohol with a pH of 3.16 and is bone dry (0.8 grams of sugar), as it corresponds to a brut nature. This is polished and ready."

"Compact and creamy, with a rich underpinning of minerally smoke and brine, this expands slowly on the palate, revealing notes of yellow plum, Marcona almond, grapefruit pith and elderflower. Xarel-lo, Macabeo and Parellada. Disgorged March 2024. Drink now through 2029. 3,500 cases made, 800 cases imported.—Alison Napjus"
