Description
Brilliant straw yellow color. Ripe bouquet in harmony with slight nutty and buttery aromas, with a sweet spice hint. In the palate it is well structured and elegantly glyceric, slightly creamy. It offers a good balance between unctuosity and young dynamism thanks to a short maturation in oak. It is very versatile, with a long, pleasant aftertaste.
THE WINE
With a limestone essence, influenced by the stones and the marine fossils lying in the vineyard’s soil, Clos dels Fòssils made with the exceptional
grape variety of Xarel·lo. The wine’s deep aromas have been accentuated by its light aging in barrel.
THE SECRET LIFE OF PLANTS
“The secret life of plants” is the concept with which we want to convey our fascination and respect for the mysterious world of plants: living
beings with sophisticated sensibilities, strategies and survival mechanisms. Clos dels Fòssils emphasizes the bond between the vines and
the very special terroir where the mountain vineyards of the Llopart family estate have their roots.
THE VINEYARD
The country estate Can Llopart de Subirats is on average 360 meters above sea level and stretches out over a hill with uneven slopes .The
estate comprises 500 hectares: 102Ha of vineyards and over 350Ha of Mediterranean forest. We cultivate the soil bioecologically with the
utmost respect for the environment. The ground is set in steep stone platforms, which gives us excellent exposure to the sun and avoids the possibility of any excess water. In the winter, the vineyards are protected from the cold northern winds by the mountains of Montserrat.
Plot: Clos dels Fòssils; a limestone terroir packed with fossils from an ancient 16-million-year-old sea
