ABOUT THIS WINE

WINE MAKING PROCESS
Miquel Pons Montargull Gran Reserva Xarello 2019 is produced using the traditional method, with a secondary fermentation occurring in the bottle. The Xarello grapes, sourced from the producer's oldest vines, are fermented and aged in new French oak barrels. Following this, the wine undergoes an extended aging period on its lees for a minimum of 40 months. The disgorging process is performed naturally without freezing the neck of the bottle to preserve the wine's aromas. Miquel Pons adheres to a philosophy of respecting the land and employing minimal intervention, with certified organic viticulture practiced since 2017.
