2021 Enric Soler Masia Cal Raspallet 'Espenyalluchs' Catalonia, Spain
$74.99
Biodynamic and Organic. Espenyalluchs is a 1 ha vineyard sourced from massale selections from the Nun vineyard. It's a cool site at high altitude (400 m) on steep slopes at the limit of where Xarel.lo can ripen in Alt Penedès. The vine density here is also extremely high at 3700 vines/ha which forces more competition among the vines which leads to lower yields but higher quality fruit for each vine. The vineyard faces northeast which gives an even longer hang time while preserving acidity in the fruit. Hand-harvested in 15 kilo bins and whole cluster pressed. Settled and racked to 4 year-old Burgundy barrels of 300 liters. Spontaneous fermentation in barrel then aged on the lees for 8 months with no battonage. Bottled at the end of May with only SO2 added.
