The 2007 Xarel-lo Pairal spent 4 months in chestnut and 24 months in bottle prior to release. Medium gold-colored, it offers up a nose of mineral, peach, and apricot. Vibrant on the palate, this dry, savory offering may well evolve for 1-2 years and drink well for 5.
Carlos Esteva is the man behind the remarkable white wines that emerge from Can Rafols dels Caus.
