Very enjoyable, fizzy and uplifting, pear and apple notes with acidity. Certainly not a complex, symphonically structured wine, but rather a simple and enjoyable pop-tune of a wine.

Very similar to the last bottle, but a slightly more floral nose and a touch more fizz on the tongue - very good, refreshing wine. Drink it chilled on a hot summer's day. Really good stuff, this.

Homage to Catalonia - Spanish Wine Tasting with Peter McCombie MW (Wills Hall, Bristol): This is a cool-fermented wine made from Pansa Blanca, which is the same thing as Xarel-lo, just a different name. Smells exotic and zesty with pear drops and a touch of bubblegum. Very fruity, slight fizz on the tongue gives it a lift. Pear, very fresh, although a little awkward and perfume like near the back. Retails at £10, which I don't think is good value, but I picked up a bottle for £6. if you can find this for sub-£7 then definitely get a bottle. A decent, non-cava-like example of Xarel-lo.

Un muy buen xarel·lo. Graso. mineral y estructurado. Para guardar un par de añiitos y ver como evoluciona.
