2022 Enric Soler 'Improvisacio' Vino Varietal, Spain
Regular price $50.00
Unit price per
100% Xarel-lo
Enric Soler has become the champion of Spain’s indigenous Xarel-lo. Historically seen as just the base wine for mass produced Cava, Xarel-lo had long been overlooked, but Soler saw its true potential. In 2004 he began a radically different approach, treating his native terroir of Catalonia and grapes as if they could produce some of the world’s best white wines. Soler was of course entirely correct, and today, his incredibly limited production of handcrafted wines are some of the most allocated bottles in Spain.
This wine is made from some of the oldest Xarel-lo vineyards in the region and spends 6 to 8 months aging on its lees which lends an extra depth of character and complexity. It shows aromas of white flowers, almonds, and bright yellow citrus. The palate is crisp and textured with a lively, expressive minerality and an elegant finish.
