Product Description
Details
Cargol Treu Vi 2014 is the third vintage of this white wine crafted by the team formed by Irene Alemany and Laurent Corrió, a couple based in Penedès that, in the last years, have been producing increasingly interesting, daring, radical wines.
This wine is a varietal Xarel·lo coming from a single vineyard more than 70 years old located in a very particular terroir in the Garraf Mountains. The soil is composed of marine fossils, a feature that gives the wine a remarkable freshness and a characteristic minerality.
Carefully harvested, the wine was fermented and aged on its lees in 300-litre French oak barrels.
You may be surprised to know, incidentally, that Spanish wine Cargol Treu Vi, an age-worthy white, got no less than 93 Parker points.
Additional Information
Additional Information
| Appearance | Clean, bright, straw-yellow colour with steely tinges. |
|---|---|
| Nose | A nice perfume of white flowers, along with notes of white fruit, citrus, enticing hints of smoke and flintstone and some elegant mineral undertones. |
| Palate | The Xarel.lo wine Cargol Treu Vi, by Alemany i Corrió, shows from the start a linear character and a tense acidity. On the palate, notes of apples, pears, medlar, smoke, dry flowers and vanilla combine with some salty touches and mineral remembrances. Long, salty finish. Very original. |
| Our personal opinion | Cargol Treu Vi 2014 is an unconventional Mediterranean white that will improve substantially over the next three years. |
