Old vines (planted in, you guessed it, 1954) of Xarel-lo provide a backbone of rich minerality and fine, floral fruit in what is one of the best value white wines we’ve tasted in a long time. Think the wines of southern Burgundy by way of the Mediterranean and you’re somewhere close.
Costador is an estate focussed on pushing Catalan winemaking in to the future whilst absolutely respecting the traditions of the past. From old vineyards in both Conca de Barberà and Priorat they grow some of Catalunya’s oldest varieties, that have been lost elsewhere in the region, often putting those grapes through long macerations in a variety of vessels to produce utterly unique Mediterranean wines.
