Xarel-lo
Often playing a quiet supporting role in Cava blends, Xarel·lo is finally getting the recognition it deserves. Native to Catalonia, it brings structure, freshness and a distinct saline edge that sets proper Cava apart from the fizzy crowd. On its own, it’s even more impressive — think orchard fruit, herbs, and a whisper of wildness. Whether blended or solo, this grape gives Cava its backbone. If you like your bubbles with texture, tension, and a real sense of place, Xarel·lo is the one to watch.
