Wine information

This exceptional drop is made from 100 per cent Xarel-Lo, which thrives on clay soil.
Processing details
Spontaneous fermentation took place with wild yeasts and unfolded over eight months in four-year-old 300-litre Burgundy barriques.

Colour scheme
The brilliant straw yellow, interwoven with green reflections, testifies to exclusivity.

Fragrance profile
The eccentric Espenya lynx is unique, the clear signature of the winemaker is unmistakable. The restrained Xarel-lo gives the terroir a chance to fully develop. Its finish, a subtle yeasty undertone, is a perfect partnership with notes of wet stone and wet chalk. Flavours of lightly smoked, caramelised quince and fresh pears resonate harmoniously on the edge. With patience, this glass also exudes the scent of yellow blossoms and a hint of almond.

Taste experience
Ab dem ersten Schluck nimmt dieser Wein die Geschmacksnerven gefangen. Eine bemerkenswerte Salinität, die sich auf die Zahnflächen ausbreitet, sorgt für eine markante Präsenz. Die ausgewogene aber keineswegs zurückhaltende Säure balanciert das mineralische Erlebnis. Ein Kombinationsspiel aus Salz und Säure, das eine emotionale Achterbahnfahrt verspricht. Dieser kristallklar umrissene Wein bietet eine erstaunliche Intensität ohne jegliche Schwere. Verfeinert mit einem Hauch von Schmelz leitet er zu einem nahezu endlos anmutenden, eleganten Finale über. Man kann nicht anders, als die Attribute “zeitlos” und “großartig” diesem Wein zuzuschreiben.

Food recommendation

Pair this wine with a glazed sole served on tender pak choi and miso beurre blanc. For asparagus lovers, a combination with white asparagus finished with sautéed king prawns and creamy peas would be a gourmet experience. Beef tartare, provided with fresh garden herbs and salsify, underlines its timeless greatness.
