"Fresh and elegant white fruit and brioche aromas with a chalky, minerally touch. Nicely generous on the palate, with delineated, frothy beads and a bright finish. Medium-bodied with a linear, medium-long finish, where some subtle seashell notes loom at the end. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold."

"50% Xarel-lo, with Macabeo and Parellada. 50% from the estate, focusing on the lower landand clay soils, and 50% grower fruit. There's an element of alchemy in this wine, whichmoves with an inner engine of freshness and energy that very few come near at this level.Super-crisp pale pear and lemon juice aromas are discreet and fine, marine and stony ratherthan varietally expressive, all shaped with tensile strength and beautiful directness.A remarkable standard. 2024-2025"

"This is fresh and focused, lacy in texture, and a minerally version overall. Hints of smoke and stone show on the nose and a salty underpinning to the palate's range of tangerine, ripe yellow plum, blanched almond and chamomile. Xarel-lo, Macabeu, Parellada and Malvasia de Sitges. Disgorged March 2023. Drink now through 2026. 16,600 cases made, 9,000 cases imported. From Spain.‡A.N."
