XAREL-LO
Intense yellow color. The nose stands out for its intensity and concentration. We can find notes of quince, orellana, honey and thyme, with the glass at rest we perceive sweeter aromas such as vanilla, toasted almonds and caramels among others.
On the other hand, it is fresh in the mouth, with a sweet, dense entry and marked acidity throughout its journey, where the freshest aromas predominate at the end of the mouth.
It is a wine that we use to pair with stewed and/or raw blue fish, while we can accompany it with white meats such as poultry and stewed rabbit. It is also a very good companion for all cured cheeses.
