About this product
Albet i Noya's organic Xarel·lo from old Penedès vines: mineral, apple-driven, and textural. Xarel·lo at its finest — unmasked by barrel or blending — shows a complexity and aging capacity that has surprised critics and established the variety's credentials as Catalonia's finest indigenous white grape.
