Xarello is a native Spanish grape from Catalonia, and it’s one of the key varieties traditionally used to make cava. It’s loved for the fresh acidity it brings to wines and is considered one of Spain’s top white grapes. With its thick skin and high levels of polyphenols, Xarello offers a great natural balance between sugars and acidity.
In this wine, we’ve focused on letting the unique character of Cabellut’s terroir shine through. It’s a young, dry white—fresh and aromatic, with a beautiful sunny yellow color and a bright, clean finish.
You’ll pick up notes of wild fennel, elderflower, yellow plum, and crisp apple on the nose. On the palate, it’s vibrant and layered, with a finish that lingers. We suggest giving it a gentle swirl in the glass before sipping—it really opens up and reveals even more of its charm.
- Food pairing: This Xarel·lo is a perfect match for seafood dishes like grilled prawns, clams, or a simple lemony fish. It also goes beautifully with fresh goat cheese, light tapas, or Mediterranean salads with herbs and citrus. For something casual, enjoy it with a plate of olives, almonds, and manchego on a sunny afternoon.
- Serving tip: Serve chilled—around 8–10°C —to keep all those bright aromas and zesty flavors at their best.
