The nose is generous and inviting, showing plenty of fresh yellow fruit, lifted citrus, and a subtle floral edge. On the palate, it’s rounded yet energetic, with good volume, crisp freshness and a pleasingly long finish that gives the wine more presence than its easygoing style might suggest.\n\nThe balance between fruit richness and tension makes it feel both approachable and well put together. While it is best enjoyed for its youth and brightness, the wine should hold nicely over the short term, preserving its fresh fruit profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eXipella White is sourced from clay-rich soils in DO Conca de Barberà, a central Catalan region west of Barcelona that is better known to locals than to the wider wine world. The blend of Parellada, Macabeu and Sauvignon Blanc brings together native Spanish varieties and an international grape to create a wine that is expressive, fresh and true to Clos Montblanc’s philosophy of combining tradition with modernity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA versatile white that works well with grilled fish, seafood, light poultry dishes, rice dishes, fresh salads and soft cheeses.
