Aspriu
Xarel·lo
Motivations

At Pardas we are "Xarellists" and Aspriu is no exception. It is already the winery's third Xarel·lo wine. Our trust in this grape is absolute, and when that happens, producing a Vineyard Wine (Vi de Vinya) becomes inevitable. When working primarily with one grape, the only possible and authentic path to achieving differentiated wines is to believe in and rediscover the possibilities offered by our diversity of soils and micro-climates.
The singular and non-transferable place defines the wine.
Knowing how to interpret nature is, therefore, the challenge.
The place over the variety, over the winegrower.

2018 Current vintage

Vineyards:

"La Lola" is a 1.2-hectare south-facing Xarel·lo vineyard located at Serral del Titet, on the Can Comas estate. It is composed of three distinct plots of different ages and rootstocks (41-B, Rupestris de Lot, and 161-49). The borders and the stream that surround it on two sides determine a single viticultural unit, a singular micro-climate. Xarel·lo requires clay and lime, which it finds here in varying proportions and amounts. The petrocalcic bedrock from which the soil originates is found at different depths. This soil, poor in organic matter and with low water retention, makes the vines suffer in summer. No-till farming gives us a well-structured terroir and a desired communion between cultivation and nature.
