‘Blanc Fugitiu'
Xarel-lo, Penedes, Catalonia, Spain
A lucky go-getter of a Xarello, destined for great things, and working tirelessly to get there. New & exciting winemaker Ferran Lacruz has been farming organically (and with biodynamic practices) with as little intervention as possible since 2018, trying to do justice to his beloved hometown grapes. A natural winery that wants to be out of any appellation of origin or regulation, so as to not have any barriers to his creativity or his grapes potential. Harvested from 49 year old vines grown on mineral rich, calcareous soils that bestow a pretty, oceanic air to the wine. Fermented with their skins in stainless steel for 3 weeks, Ferran takes care that the skins are always submerged so they do not oxygenate or extract too harsh of tannins into this delicate orange wine. Lively acid, like a bunny hopping around playing the lute alongside preserved lemons + their brine, tangerine slices, gravel knee scrape, pear popsicles & dried dragonfruit. Drink with mushroom fried rice, a runny egg and Interactions of Colour by Josef Albers.
