Vins Pepe Raventos Xarel·lo de la Vinya del Noguer Alt - 2023 (750ml)
This comes from a small (less than 3 acre), single plot of Xarel·lo planted in 1970, on clay and limestone soils. The plot is farmed using organic and biodynamic methods.
The grapes were hand-harvested, whole cluster pressed with a 55% yield and fermented with native yeasts and controlled temperatures in a 2,000 liter French oak foudre, 1,000 liter amphora and two 500 L French oak barrels. Following fermentation the wine was aged on its lees for 8 months. The wine sees no additional processing, filtration or additions prior to aging for a minimum of 9 months prior to release.
Winemaker Pepe Raventos describes the wine: "Our Xarel·lo del Noguer Alt is expressed with a clean, complex nose with a wide range of aromatic nuances from aniseed, Mediterranean herbs, smoked, iodized, fruity. Very well structured, round, enveloping, saline and fresh on the palate."

The 2023 Xarel·Lo Vinya Del Noguer comes from calcareous soils in Conca del Riu Anoia, Penedès and is made without added sulfites. It opens with notes of pear, Mediterranean herbs, fennel and compote. Dry, broad and saline, with firm acidity and good flavor, it is a refined natural white with delicate expression. - By JoaquĂn Hidalgo on November 2025
