Ecológico

Produced by Cavas Llopart, the white wine Llopart Clos dels Fòssils is made exclusively from estate-grown Xarel·lo grapes.
The main feature of this Spanish white wine from Penedès is a mineral and saline quality derived from the area where the vines are grown. The soil has a limestone stratum of marine origin with an abundance of marine fossils.
Harvested at an optimal ripening state, the grapes were cold-soaked, gently crushed and put into stainless steel tanks, where they were fermented using only indigenous yeasts. Then the wine Llopart Clos dels Fòssils 2024 was macerated on its lees, transferred into Acacia barrels and French oak barrels from Allier, where it was aged for 6 months.
Pair this organic and vegan white wine with creamy cheese, shrimp and rice dishes.
