Can Ràfols Gran Caus Penedès Blanc

Penedès, Spain
Can Ràfols's high-altitude estate white from Xarel·lo, Chenin Blanc, and Chardonnay at 600m elevation; complex and mineral with apple, citrus, and a mineral tension that ages gracefully for 8-10 years. A benchmark for Penedès's serious white wine ambition.
