Josep i Pau 'Bombolles' Xarel-lo Pét-Nat
Penedès > Catalunya > ES
Xarel-lo, 2021
Josep i Pau is made by Rosell Mir, a tiny family winery based in the Penedès region of Catalunya, near Barcelona. The name is a reference to Pau the son and Josep the father, who run the winery together and collaborated on this project. The vineyards at Rosell Mir are all organically farmed and the wines are made in a with low intervention and nothing added. Here we have Xarel-lo, an indigenous varietal used in the Cava blend, from 60-year old vines grown on limestone soil. Bottled during fermentation to capture all those bubbles, and disgorged the following spring.

The Story: Josep i Pau is a project exclusive to the Seattle area, with the Seattle importer Vin2U working directly with the Rosell Mir family to create these special wines.
Personality: Xarel-lo is known for its high acidity, and here showcases aromas of lime blossom and peach with spicy ginger and lemon zest amidst all that effervescence dancing on the palette.
Harmony: A perfect aperitif. Or sip on it while gardening or doing some spring cleaning.
