Vins Pepe Raventós Xarel·lo de la Vinya del Noguer Alt 2021

The grapes for the Vins Pepe Raventós Xarel·lo are sourced from the unique Vinya del Noguer plot specifically chosen by Pepe. This 2.10 hectare site was planted with Xarello in 1970. The gobelet trained vines grow on very poor clay and limestone soils resulting in low yields and concentrated flavours. This vineyard is farmed biodynamically using Pepe’s own preparations and compost from the family farm. Cover crops and horses are employed where possible to reduce the impact on the soil. At the winery, whole bunch grapes were gently pressed, and the must was fermented using indigenous yeast in a 1,600-litre French oak foudre. The fermentations lasted 19 days and the wine was then aged for 9 months on its lees, for added texture, before bottling without sulphur addition, finning or filtration. This was followed by a further 9 months in bottle before release. This is a round, saline and fresh still wine. The variety gives it plenty of character and a wide range of aromatic nuances from aniseed, Mediterranean herbs, and a touch of smokiness. The palate is structured with good tension and a flinty finish.

Vintage Availability

We endeavour to display accurate and current vintages on all our wines listed on the website; however, from time to time stocks of the vintage listed do become exhausted. If this is the case with your order we will always contact you to recommend another vintage of the same wine, if it is still available. If the vintage of a wine is important to you then please leave a note at checkout advising us of this. 

 

Stock Availability

As we are retail stockists, selling from our Ledston shop as well as online, it makes it difficult for us to show a 'real-time' inventory of our wines and spirits online. As such, very occasionally, a wine may be out of stock that the website has allowed you to order.

To ensure a timely delivery, we are happy to substitute your order with a similar wine of equal or higher value and at no additional cost to you!

If this is not an acceptable solution please advise us in the 'Add A Comment' section at the checkout.
