They picked the grapes very early and pressed less to avoid high pH and losing the acidity and tension. That is to say that the wine is fresh and balanced, with 12.5% alcohol and a pH of 3.12, serious, austere and without any sign of heat, excess ripeness or alcohol. They hadn't had rain since June 2020, so they were already alert, and it didn't rain until March 2024.

It's something incredible in the Mediterranean climate and especially in the warm and dry 2022. The grapes can ripen a lot more, but they avoid the topicality and achieve the saline character of the wine, which has a sharp and austere, chalky palate with that tasty, umami-driven finish.

It has 12.5% alcohol and a pH of 3.13. 2004 was the first vintage and the first serious aged white wines not produced with French varieties in the zone, feeling proud of the Xarel.lo grape. This is very clean and defined, designed to be able to age in bottle. 2021 was already a dry year, but the wine has no heat, ripeness or warmth, one of the advantages of the grape. It has some savory notes and a seamless palate with vibrant and focused flavors, getting more and more mineral with time in the glass. Ram??n Parera compared it with 2017 and 2019, two years when the plants resisted the heat and delivered very complete wines. Their wines are more introverted and serious, subtle on the nose and with minerality on the palate.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e100% Xarel-lo from 40-year-old vines planted on shallow, poor soils high in lime content.
