A Pel Ancestral 2020 - Loxarel

A Pel Ancestral - Loxarel

A Pèl Ancestral is a wine made 100% from Xarello grapes with the method of refermentation in the bottle. Fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts in 1000 liter terracotta amphorae with maceration on the skins. The fermentation in the bottle ends. No sugars or yeasts are added. It is marketed with cork and crown cap, in the ancestral style. A full and balanced wine with aromas of ripe white fruit, white flowers and citrus. An elegant salty touch gives it a long and persistent finish.

Service

We recommend tasting it at a temperature of 6/8 ° in a flute ballon glass. To be drunk immediately but will express its best in a few years. It is recommended to keep it in a horizontal position in a cool, damp and dark cellar.

Pairing

Excellent wine as an aperitif, with light first courses, with fish-based main courses, to be tried with sea bass tartare flavored with fennel.

Winery: Loxarel

The Loxarel winery was born from the vocation and innovative spirit of Josep Mitjans who, at the age of 16, made his first 1,000 bottles of cava, breaking with the tradition of the estate's wine production to incorporate one more step into the supply chain. It was 1985. After four generations in contact with the vineyard and the land, it was time to take another step in the production process. Josep studies Oenology and accepts the challenge of leading the conversion of the family winery. In 1987 he registered the Loxarel brand, which claims the value of the flagship variety of the house: xarel·lo. Two years later, Teresa Nin joins the company to take care of the administrative and commercial management of the brand, while Mitjans focuses on the technical management of the winery and vineyards.
