Aroma of ripe white fruits: pear, peach, with revealing notes of Mediterranean herbs: lavender and thyme combined with a touch of citric. Fresh and pleasant entry on the palate, displays good Mediterranean character and minerality, and lots of fruit flavors that finish with an elegant length.

Notes: Best enjoyed in its youth, over the next 1-2 years.

The Xavier Clua Wine Cellar is situated in the village of Vilalba dels Arcs, one of the twelve communes of the Denomination of Origin of Terra Alta. A long-established winery, the name Clua has been associated with the production of wines for four generations, and today is the latest generation, led by Xavier Clua, who runs the viticulture and winemaking sides of the business.

The family-owned vineyards are located in southern Tarragona's Ebre region, around the village of Vilalba dels Arcs. The climate is influenced by both the Mediterranean and the continental, and the soil is made up of calcareous clays with low levels of organic material but is rich in elements that favour good drainage.
