From our sommeliers

"Xerinola" is a white wine from Catalonia produced from Xarel-lo and Macabeu grapes. The nose recalls aromas of yellow pulp fruit, candied fruit, citrus peel and a trail of aromatic herbs. The sip flows easy and light, outlining a limpid freshness and a savory matrix

The soils are characterized by a rocky matrix and sandy clay and limestone origins. The hand-harvested grapes are transported to the small space available within Bodega La Boella, in the immediate vicinity of Tarragona, where they are vinified in steel. Spontaneous alcoholic fermentation takes place simultaneously with a brief maceration on the skins and the subsequent aging on fine lees extends for a period of several months. Bottling is done without filtration or other cleaning operations.

“Xerinola” by Artesano Vintners presents its intensely yellow color, with a golden hue and a slightly hazy appearance. The nose is the quintessence of Mediterranean character, with an attack of pickled lemons, hints of scrub and medicinal herbs, and a pronounced spicy note of ginger, with a softer final nuance of ripe fruit pulp. The sip is coherent and plays on the vibrant freshness, as well as on the pronounced minerality, very drinkable and juicy. A delicate orange wine for

aperitifs among friends and for fish dishes, whether roasted or raw, and vegetable soufflés.
