100% 2010 vintage, 60% Macabeu, 40% Xarello – Pere tells me that, in his mind, the greatest complexity comes from Macabeo and Xerello, moreso than from Parellada. That is why he makes a small amount (roughly 65 cases) of this cuvée using only those two varieties. It has a greater sense of chalky cut and mineral tension, with even more intense white florals. If you are a minerality lover like myself, this has your name on it. The seamlessness of the fruit/minerality/acidity is masterfully measured. Aged for 6 years on the lees before disgorgement. Again, for the money, are you kidding me? Amber gave this one a little “heart”.

Description
100% 2015 vintage, 60% Macabeu, 40% Xarello – This is the next release of his Orixen, following the outstanding 2010 and 2014 vintages that I brought in on the last waves. Pere tells me that, in his mind, the greatest complexity comes from Macabeo and Xerello, moreso than from Parellada. That is why he makes a small amount (roughly 65 cases) of this cuvée using only those two varieties. It has a greater sense of chalky cut and mineral tension, with even more intense white florals. If you are a minerality lover like myself, this has your name on it. In the 2010 version, the seamlessness of the fruit/minerality/acidity is masterfully measured. Again, for the money, are you kidding me? Amber gave the 2010 of this one a little “heart”. Based on the fact that both the 2010 and 2014 base wines were easily the most impressive vintages that I tasted with Pere, I imagine this one will be on point.
