Color
The wine shows itself in bright golden yellow clear and shiny in the glass.
Nose
With its first aroma, this wine made from 50% Xarel-lo and 50% Malvasia de Sitges flies over autumnal grain fields full of wheat, barley and spelt. The warming scent of dried grain and a hint of malt are refreshed by fruity notes of guava, tangerine zest and young, fresh corn, as well as the floral scent of peonies and an itty-bitty blob of natural yoghurt with apricot.
Palate
The 2018 Istiu from Enric Soler appears on the palate with the clarity of a mountain stream. In a tailor-made ideal line, it literally celebrates its drink and yet it is more created than made. With subtle power and emphasis, it leaves a long-lasting freshness on the palate, with moderate yet vitalizing acidity, as otherwise only the neutralizing herbal fennel candy after the meal at the Indian can do.
