Pomell de Blancs
11,50 €
Pomell is a Catalan word meaning wild bouquet of various flowers. As this wine is a blend of several varieties, we wanted to make a linguistic parallel.
This is a perfect combination of the uniqueness of xarel·lo with the sophistication of chardonnay. Each of the two varieties is made and aged separately with its fermenting wine dregs in underground cups, in the style of the great white wines of the Loire and Chablis. Once aged, its assembly is determined by the vintage and by each of the characters of its components.

Characteristics
Varieties: 41% Xarel·lo, 38% Chardonnay, 21% Sumoll
Vinification: Direct extraction by pressing previously destemmed grapes. Alcoholic fermentation at 14ºC in stainless steel tanks for approximately 10 days. Clarified and stabilized. Light filtration before bottling.
Aging: Aged on fermentation lees (“sur lie”) for 3 months in underground tanks, following the style of the great white wines from Loire and Chablis. This aging process enhances the wine’s richness in new amino acids, particularly mannoproteins, resulting from yeast autolysis. This contributes to complex aging aromas and notable taste complexity.
Food pairing and service
Ideal as an aperitif with various fish dishes and shellfish, including raw shellfish due to its moderate acidity, as well as baked, grilled or fried fish due to its rich nuances and texture. It can also be very conveniently recommended to go with starters based on marinated or smoked fish, and mild goat and sheep cheeses. Serve at a temperature of 8 – 10 oC.
Sommelier note
“Calm, serene youthfulness, creamy, fresh, reminiscent of pastries.” (Jordi Raventós, Sumiller)
“Bright yellow. Aroma of ripe fruit, dried flowers, fragrant herbs. Powerful, full-flavoured, as it should be on the palate.” (Peñín Guide to Spanish Wine 2014)
“Bright straw color. Fresh aroma with notes of fresh fruit and white flowers, expressive.
On the palate, it is flavorful, fruity, with good acidity and well-balanced.” (Guía Peñín de los Vinos de España 2015)
