2021 Celler La Salada 'La Bufarella' Penedes, Spain

$37.99

Organic, biodynamic. 100% Xarel.lo. ‘La Bufarella’ is a single vineyard of 1.1ha, planted in 1982 and located between Pla del Penedès and Subirats on a steep north-facing slope—it’s one of La Salada’s prime vineyards. 95% destemmed, 5% whole cluster, six months’ worth of maceration. Natural fermentation with no additions in stainless steel tanks. Aged in steel and bottled with the lunar calendar directly from tank without filtration or racking, so the first bottles have less sediment than the last (just a heads up here!). La Bufarella is a vibrant, expressive version of what Xarel.lo can be, not as robust and opulent as the variety can also demonstrate. Light, stone-fruited, and gently mineral.
