Can Vallés Jeroni Valles Xarel-lo 2022

Made with 100% Xarel-lo from a Demeter-certified biodynamic vineyard, this dry white wine is expressive on the palate, with notes of lemon, apple, pear, tropical fruit and yogurt. The crisp, light-bodied white has bright acidity complemented by subtle notes of stonefruit and a nutty, smokey finish.

Winemaker Anna Baqués practices low intervention vinification, using grapes indiginous to the region and fermenting naturally in concrete vats with native yeasts. 

Can Vallés is a family estate ran by Jordi Vallés and his wife Vicky, with the help of their daughter Victoria. Their origins are a long history, dating back to 1486 -- 22 generations of winemaking. Can Vallés is based in the region of Penedès, in Catalonia. The mountains of the region look on to the estate, which sits in a basin between the foothills and the Mediterranean Sea. The vineyards sit at 400m above sea level and soils are calcareous, with a mix of clay and well-draining stony terrain. They practice dry farming for water retention. The core philosophy of the family starts in the vineyards with biodynamic principles. All vineyards are farmed organically and sustainably.
