Mas Candi - "DESIG" Xarel-lo Penedes Blanc 2023 750ml (12.5% ABV)

Mas Candí is a joint venture between Ramon Jané, Mercè Cuscó, and Toni Carbo, three Catalunya natives passionate about organic / chemical-free farming. Ramon and Toni first met at oenology school at Camp Joliu in Penedès back in 1988. By the time their 1994 graduation rolled around, the pair were quite good friends. In addition to sharing mentalities on farming and viticultural practices, both Ramon and Tony hailed from vine-growing families in Spain.

56 year-old bush-trained Xarel.lo

limestone plot @ 300 m,  ridge overlooking Sant Sadurní d'Anoia which is blasted by cold winds, resulting in a long growing season.

a really excellent alternative for Chardonnay lovers, fuller bodied and weighty but kept in balance with fresh acidity, yellow flowers, pear, golden apples, fennel, broad, chalky minerality, bright and crisp finish,
