Why You'll Love It
This is Xarel·lo at its most sophisticated. While the grape is best known as the backbone of Cava, it is increasingly being produced as a still wine to highlight the diversity of Penedès' distinctive Mediterranean terroir.

'Principia Mathematica' is creamy, layered and energetic. There is lots of typical (of Xarel-lo) citrus and salty minerality, along with juicy apricot fruit and a Meursault-esque buttery, nuttiness. Rich and serious enough to satisfy lovers of white Burgundy indeed, but unmistakably Mediterranean in character.

An awesome pairing for a variety of seafood, or with pork sausages cooked with rosemary.
About The Producer
From their base in the town of Vilafranca del Penedès, partners Irene and Laurent are challenging traditional perceptions of DO Penedès wine.

Committed to organic viticulture, they have long since abandoned all forms of chemical treatments and fertilizers, and have a similar contempt for the area’s traditionally high yields. Within their modest cellar, which in part they built themselves, production remains reassuringly small. However, as they identify further small vineyard sites, their range has extended to include distinctive wines of richness and complexity using naturally fermented Xarel-lo.
