Unfiltered Wine Club, March 2023

"Onwards to Spain! Over the years I’ve worked with many Dasca Vives wines. Some of you may remember their Pét Nat that I had by the glass at Good Night last year. Dasca Vives wines are all produced naturally without the use of chemicals, and are biodynamic. The winery is in Tarragona inside Catalonia in the northwestern corner of the country. Xerric is half Cartoixà, otherwise known as Xarel-lo, and half Macabeu, and is medium bodied and oily in texture with notes of orange blossoms, exotic tropical fruits, Asian pear, and hints of cream. Another wine that screams “Give me cheese, please!” This wine is pretty fun to drink."
