This is dramatic, head-swirling, superlative-searching Xarel-lo from Agustí Torelló Sibill of Anima Mundi who works in Spain's Penedes.

Tasting Notes: Absolutely glorious structure, similar to the best of a Savennières. Full harmony between the grape’s inherent iodine earthiness, the slight reduction and crunch of the winemaking, and the long salty finish. Haunting and immaculate.

Vinification: 100% Xarello from 40 year-old north-east facing vineyards on very chalky soils. Organically farmed in accordance with the lunar calendar. After a short maceration it is pressed and fermented without additives in amphora and old barrels. Elevage of 6 months, bottled unfiltered and without SO2.

Producer Highlight
Anima Mundi Pells is the fruit of soul and intelligence. Agustí Torelló Sibill, the family winery’s expert oenologist, makes this white wine with vineyards that are 50 years old, and strives at all times to achieve the balance between plant and terroir; an accompaniment that takes place throughout the entire vegetative cycle and is aimed at imbuing the vineyard with sufficient capacity to respond to any outside pests or risks.

The Producer: Anima Mundi

Agustí established Anima Mundi in 2015 with the belief that by closely observing the land, one can truly capture the essence of grapes and their origin. Alongside Anima Mundi, Agustí also serves as the chief winemaker for his family's winery, AT Roca. AT Roca specializes in terroir-driven sparkling wines made using the champagne method, specifically within the newly established D.O. Classic Penedès. Agustí is also involved in another project called Sileo, which focuses on showcasing the unique characteristics of the Cornudella region in Montsant through wines made from Garnacha and Cariñena grapes. However, Anima Mundi is Agustí's personal dream that exists outside of Spain's appellation designations. It is a small project located in a corner of the family's winery and vineyards, situated near the 11th century Benedictine monastery of Sant Sebastià dels Gorgs. Agustí is solely responsible for driving this project forward.
