Loxarel – Barba-roja – D.O. Penedès

Organic and biodynamic viticulture. A singular blend made in the vineyard itself, hand-harvested. Made using the ancestral method, a single fermentation that begins in 720-litre clay amphorae with its own skins and finishes in the bottle. Sold without disgorging, with its own natural lees.

High-altitude vineyards at 700m above sea level in the Pla de Manlleu area. Clay, poor and calcareous soil, with a very diverse understory surrounded by pines, oaks and gorse.

Look: pale pink. Nose: subtle, delicate and floral, with notes of red bilberries. Palate: the altitude is present throughout and brings fresh notes, with good acidity.

Serving temperature: 4-6°C. Perfect as an aperitif for its fresh, light character, pairs very well with smoked foods and soft cheeses.
