Vila Abellus, Xarel-lo 2022 Cabernet Franc/Cabernet Sauvignon/ Merlot Its unique blend of orangeFrom a small parcel of 65 year old Cartoix Vermell, the very rare Catalan grape also known as red Xarel lo. Even with a long skin maceration, the wine never develops a tremendous amount of pigment, thus only achieving a coppery pink color. Light citrus, kiwi undertones, and waxy honeycomb. Enjoy with soft cheeses, grilled chicken, and spring vegetables.
