I was still recovering from the tasting event yesterday.
1st Oriol Rossell Xino Xano Xarel-lo Muscat 2019 1250 yen + tax
It is made from Xarel-lo and Muscat grown in the estate vineyards in Penedes by organic method.
The bottle shape and label design have been changed from this vintage.
I felt very clear acidity from Xarel-lo and rich grape aroma from Muscat.
I also felt nice fruits and good minerals.
Every taste made a very good balance.
It is just my favorite style of white wine.
2nd Oriol Rossell Xino Xano Merlot Syrah 2019 1250 yen + tax
The red is made from 70% Merlot and 30% Syrah grown in the estate vineyards in Penedes by organic method.
Syrah had a high proportion than Merlot before.
Because the winery wanted to have more elegance, they use Merlot more than Syrah recently.
I felt very good red berries, soft tannins and comfortable mouthfeel.
The style is very cool and elegant.
It is just my favorite style of red wine.
Tasty! Tasty!
