Xarel·lo and Macabeo from the Garraf, partly in chestnut barrels: pear, mountain herbs, chalk.
White wine · Xarello, Macabeo, Muscat de Frontignac · Penedès, Spain · 0.75 L
Grape varieties: Xarel·lo, Macabeo, Muscat de Frontignac
Production: 23,000 bottles
Soils: The grapes come from the Massís del Garraf in Penedès, a karst landscape southwest of Barcelona. The vines grow on shallow limestone soils with a high active lime content and a clayey structure, which give the wines their characteristic minerality. The Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and cooling sea breezes ensures slow, balanced ripening.
Climate: Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers, low rainfall and the cooling influence of the Mediterranean Sea.
Vinification: After a short maceration period, the individual grape varieties are spontaneously fermented separately with natural yeasts. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, with a portion of the Xarel·lo being aged in chestnut barrels. The wine is then lightly fined and filtered; sulfur is only added during bottling. The wine comes from organically certified cultivation.
Alcohol: 11.5 % Vol.
Tasting notes: Bright straw yellow in the glass. The nose combines aromas of ripe pear, apricot and Mediterranean herbs with delicate floral nuances. On the palate it is structured and fresh, with spicy mountain herbs, limestone minerality and a long, juicy finish.
Food pairing: Ideal with grilled fish, seafood, duck breast, aged cheese or Mediterranean vegetable dishes.

The winery
Only around 50 of this finca's 455 hectares in the Garraf Massif are planted with vines. The rest is forest, scrub and rock. Jordi Esteve carries on what Carlos Esteva started in the 1970s.

Carlos Esteva began turning the estate into a winery in the 1970s and tried out many grape varieties along the way. After his death in 2023, Jordi Esteve, a long-time companion, took over the management. He keeps the same line: organic farming, hand picking, spontaneous fermentation and every plot vinified on its own.
