Xarel·lo

A key grape in Spain’s Cava production, Xarel·lo brings structure, acidity, and depth to traditional sparkling wine blends. It delivers crisp green apple, citrus, and almond notes, often with a distinct mineral and herbal complexity. When vinified as a still wine, it showcases remarkable texture and age-worthiness, sometimes developing oxidative, sherry-like nuances. Increasingly recognized for its ability to express terroir, Xarel·lo is now used in premium single-varietal wines, offering an exciting alternative to Chardonnay. Its versatility and ability to balance freshness with richness make it one of Spain’s most important and dynamic white grapes.
