Product Description
Details

A company focused on the production of terroir-oriented wines, Mas Candí is one of the most interesting wineries currently operating in DO Penedès.

A varietal Xarel·lo, Desig is made from vines planted in 1961, grown following biodynamic principles.

Harvested by hand, the grapes were cold-soaked and fermented in stainless steel tanks. After that, this Spanish white wine was aged for 7 months on its lees with periodic stirrings.

To preserve the deep mineral character of this white wine from Penedès, the wine not aged in oak or any kind of wood.

Moreover, Desig 2022 was not filtered or clarified before its bottling. Thus, it may contain some natural sediment.

Pair this young white wine with rice dishes, fish recipes and finger food.

Appearance

The white wine Desig is pale yellow with some steely tinges.

Nose

Complex and expressive, this Xarel·lo suggests aromas of fennel, pear, pineapple and apple, alongside notes of fine leeas and vegetables.

Palate

This wine from Mas Candí is mineral and rich, with green apples, some vegetal hints and notes of citrus and flowers. Vibrant acidity and a long, slightly salty finish.

Our personal opinion

The nice Desig 2022 will be a great match for fish, shrimp, pasta, pizza and Oriental food.
