Details
Mas Candí Quatre Xarel·los 2024
The production of the wine Mas Candí Quatre Xarel·los has an interesting, almost sentimental history behind it.
A varietal Xarel·lo, this Spanish white wine is produced by bodega Mas Candí, the joint project of four winemakers, each of whom inherited a vineyard from their grandfathers.
Specifically, the vineyards are La Pura, in the village of Les Gunyoles, Mas Rossell in Font-Rubí, L’Angeleta in Pla del Penedés and Cal Martí in Subirats. The four towns are located in the highest area of DO Penedès. All four are around 60 years old.
Traditionally vinified, the white wine Mas Candí Quatre Xarel·los 2024 was aged for 8 months in stainless steel tanks, clay amphorae and chestnut, acacia and French oak barrels.
Such combination gives this Penedès white wine a particularly complex character.

|---|---|
| Nose | Fresh, intense notes of aniseed, white flowers, citrus and vegetables, typical of a varietal Xarel·lo, combined with some toasted and spicy nuances, define the nose of this Crianza white wine. |
| Palate | Well-balanced and smooth-textured, this wine from the Mas Candí winery is reminiscent of lime and dry fruit, with a dim layer of spices, pastry and aromatic herbs. Crisp acidity and long, creamy finish with some delicately bitter remembrances. |
| Our personal opinion | The wine Mas Candí Quatre Xarel·los 2024 is an expressive, sophisticated Xarel.lo. |
