WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Nadal X Blanc ECO 2019 is produced using Xarel-lo grapes from estate vineyards. Vinification takes place in stainless steel tanks to maintain the wine's freshness and varietal character. A key technique employed is lees stirring (bâtonnage), which enhances the wine's body, texture, and flavor complexity. The winery's philosophy emphasizes sustainable and organic viticulture, with all grapes coming from their own land. This approach aims to express the unique qualities of the Xarel-lo grape and the Penedès terroir.
