A Pel is a Xarello single-varietal wine. The grapes come from vineyards planted in Finca Can Mayol at an altitude of 250 metres above sea level. 'A pel' in Catalan means 'uncovered.' Natural, unprotected, uncovered. In the case of A Pel Xarello, this wine is about as natural as they come. Organic, biodynamic, wild yeast fermentation, extended skin contact, unfiltered and unfined with no added sulphites. An 'orange' wine as a result of the extended skin contact, it is darker in colour and has mild tannins that you wouldn't expect in a traditional white wine. Because it is unfiltered and unfined, it is also cloudy. A good pairing for foods that are otherwise almost impossible to match such as spicy food or other acidic foods such as tomatoes.
Every wine in Mitchell & Son has been carefully selected, researched and taste tested by our team, so we stand behind each selection on our retail list. If you are not happy with a wine, a delivery, or any aspect of our service, please contact us and we will be only too happy to help you in any way we can.
