Press Review

A medley of orchard fruits on the nose; yellow apples and juicy, ripe pears with lemon and a light hint of fennel. This is an exercise in elegance.

Overview

It wouldn’t be a Gramona project without at least one Xarel.lo, and for L’Enclos de Peralba, it is a wine from the heart of the Penedès in the village of Gelida. Els Presseguers is a 1 ha parcel of Xarel.lo planted on clay-limestone soils in 1994 and farmed according to biodynamic principles by Francesc Pascual.
