Product Description
Details
This is the new vintage of Cantallops Xarel·lo, produced by Agustí Torelló Sibill & Agustí Torelló Roca, the father-son team at the helm of the AT Roca family winery.
A confidential Spanish white wine, this is produced from a single parcel of Xarel·lo vines, Finca Casallarga, located in Costers de l'Ordal, one of the highest areas of DO Penedès, bordering the mineral terroir of the Garraf mountain range.
After the harvest, the grapes were fermented with indigenous yeasts. Then a 70% of this white wine from Penedès was aged on its lees in French oak barrels, and the rest was aged in egg-shaped concrete vats. Both were aged for 8 months.
Finally, Cantallops Xarel·lo d'AT Roca 2021 was bottled unfiltered and aged for a further months before its release.
We suggest that you aerate this organic white wine some time before you drink it.
Additional Information
Additional Information
| Appearance | The white wine Cantallops Xarel·lo is pale yellow with some golden tinges. |
|---|---|
| Nose | First thing we notice in this organic Xarel.lo is a deep smokey and mineral background, nuanced by aromas of pears and apples and a touch of aniseed. Rich and intrincate, this "Vi de Coster" also suggests some remembrances of bitter herbs, pastry and and fine lees. |
| Palate | This wine from bodega AT Roca is layered, precise and very fresh. Citrusy acidity, with delicate notes of honey and butter, remembrances of fennel and a touch of bitter herbs and spices. Long, mineral finish. |
| Our personal opinion | Elegant and well-crafted, Cantallops Xarel·lo d'AT Roca 2021 pairs excellently with rice recipes, seafood, and Asian food. |

xarel-lo
Fresh, but not bone-dry. Quite mineral, the palate is complex and rich. Will improve for 3 or 4 years.

Cantallops
Big fan of Xarel lo here. I like the fact that this Roca Xarello is dry, crisp and mineral, but not coarse. I enjoyed very much the polished palate and the long finish,
