Celler Credo "ESTRANY" 2014

INTERPRETING LA XAREL·LO.

Xarel·lists: a term coined to describe those who interpret and explore the properties and virtues of the Xarel·lo grape variety. 

The Mediterranean variety Xarel·lo is the leitmotif of Celler Credo’s wine project and the thematic thread that gives rise to our wines. Aged on the lees, macerated with the grape skin or stems, with no sulphites added – made today using techniques we learned from our grandparents yesterday... In short, a thousand and one ways of interpreting Xarel•lo. In other words, Xarel·lo is our credo.

 
Territories represented by wine
BIODINAMICALLY.

At Celler Credo we see ourselves as defenders of bio (life) and dynamics (movement). We’re guided by values that bring us closer to the land, territories and landscapes of which we form part. Is this, perhaps, the path to reconciling man and nature? Maybe.

We’re committed to making terroir white wines – without chemical fertilisers, pesticides or herbicides – wines that speak plainly, recounting a sensory history that’s free of artifice, authentic. This is a dialogue between man, the variety and the land; a conversation in which there’s much to say and nothing to hide.

Xarel•lo wines that chatter; vines that give up their claim to the starring role in a vineyard inhabited by fennel, wild radish, yellow fleabane... by insects and animals that each contribute in their own small way to an ecosystem which, to express its true nature, needs something as easy to say as it is difficult to achieve: balance.

Se specifikation ESTRANY 2014

At Celler Credo, all the grapes are harvested by hand and all of the wines are produced and bottled on the property. Before pressing, the grapes used to make Estrany wines are inspected on a manual selection table.

Estrany is made using an age-old technique from the time when wine was macerated with the grape skin. This contact with the skin is taken to the limit to showcase the Xarel·lo variety in a frank, uncompromising way that captures all its depth and rough-edged elegance.

This is an unfiltered, unclarified wine. It may contain completely natural sediments as a result of our minimal intervention.

Great wine for aperitif, fish dishes and seafood.
