"Xarelúlo often tends to be a lighter white wine, but some examples stand out for their strength and precision. The 2020 Xarelúlo Vinya del Nogu,s from Pepe Ravent¢s is one of the most enticing interpretations I,ve encountered. Made from biodynamic grapes from PenedŠs and aged in foudres, this yellow wine features aromas of grapefruit and apple with earthy undertones. It,s dry and creamy on the palate, with a refreshing and loose mouthfeel that leads to a vibrant, energetic pear-juice flavor and a very expressive, lasting finish. This is a skillfully crafted white wine, bottled without any additional sulfur."

"The still white 2022 Xarel.lo Vinya del Noguer comes from the Vinya del Noguer plot planted in 1970. It fermented with indigenous yeasts and didn't have anything added to it. The bunches were lightly pressed and the juice fermented in amphorae, foudre and barrel, where it matured for nine months with lees, after which time it was blended and bottled. It has 12.9% alcohol, a pH of 3.24 with 5.6 grams of acidity, a cloudy golden color and an expressive nose with notes of organic soils, chicken broth, aromatic herbs, cereals and flowers. The palate is velvety and tasty, with pungent flavors and a long, lingering finish. 4,784 bottles were filled in May 2023."
