Macabeo, Parellada

Catalunya, Spain

Organic, Skin Contact, Sulphur free & Wild

Kremo comes from the oldest (80 years old) macabeo on the farm. The top macabeo is macerated for four days and then run to an old 400 litre amphora which is then topped with old vine parallada. Thus, the ratio changes slightly each year but in 2019 the blend is almost entirely macabeo.

Trained geologist and eighth generation farmer, Jordi Llorens is a leading light in Catalan natural wine. Jordi farms around 15 hectares in Blancafort with extremely limestone rich soil, producing expressive, terroir reflective wines without additions of any kind. Pure and precise.

Kremo very nicely captures everything we love so dearly about Jordi's white wines. There is a mid palate of exceptionally delicious Mediterranean fruit, gifted acidity, held aloft and seemingly defying gravity due to the alkaline, calcareous soils of Blancafort. The old vines create stunning length on the palate and then, just as a cherry on top, there's the genuine thumbprint of salinity on the back palate...a feature of Jordi's wines that make them brilliant on their own and just so, so good with food.
