Clos Lentiscus Xarel.lo Xpressió 2011 Sparkling Wine

Clos Lentiscus Xarel·lo Xpressió Sparkling Wine 2011 is a white sparkling wine produced by Clos Lentiscus in the Garraf Massif, Penedès, Catalonia.

It is a blend of 50% Xarel·lo and 50% Xarel·lo Vermell, sourced from biodynamically farmed vineyards on sandy and calcareous soils.

The grapes are harvested by hand and each variety is vinified separately: the Xarel·lo ferments with indigenous yeasts in oak barrels for seven months, while the Xarel·lo Vermell ferments in Roman amphorae.

The second fermentation takes place in the bottle using the traditional method, with honey and indigenous yeasts. 

The wine spends 60 months ageing on its fine lees in bottle before disgorgement, with an alcohol content of 12.5% and less than 2 g/l of residual sugar.
