Biodynamic. 100% Xarel.lo. ‘La Bufarella’ is a single vineyard of 1.1ha, planted in 1982 and located between Pla del Penedès and Subirats on a steep north-facing slope—it’s one of La Salada’s prime vineyards. 95% destemmed, 5% whole cluster, five months’ worth of maceration. Natural fermentation with no additions in stainless steel tanks for 7 months. Aged in steel and bottled with the lunar calendar directly from tank without filtration or racking. La Bufarella is a vibrant, expressive version of what Xarel.lo can be, not as robust and opulent as the variety can also demonstrate. Light, stone-fruited, and gently mineral.
