Xarel·lo Univers

Xarel·lo as the Backbone of Celler Credo

At our estate, Xarel·lo is cultivated from an ecosystem-based perspective, allowing the vine to interact freely with its environment. The result is a Xarel·lo wine distinguished by its vibrant acidity and distinctive tannic structure, making it unique among the world’s white wines and ideal for those seeking authenticity in every glass.

When you choose a Celler Credo Xarel·lo white wine, you are not simply purchasing a wine—you are experiencing a fragment of the geological history of the Penedès, bottled without artifice and with absolute respect for revealing what has taken place in the vineyard during each vintage.

Frequently Asked Questions About Celler Credo Xarel·lo White Wine

What are the defining characteristics of Xarel·lo white wine?

Xarel·lo white wine is primarily defined by its structure and remarkable freshness. This grape variety contains high levels of resveratrol, a powerful antioxidant, which contributes to its unusual ageing potential for a white wine.

What is the difference between Celler Credo’s Xarel·lo and a sparkling wine?

Celler Credo is the family project dedicated exclusively to still wines (without bubbles). While sparkling wines often seek lightness and the integration of effervescence, our still Xarel·lo wines focus on expressing volume on the palate, texture and varietal depth, allowing the wines to mature slowly and naturally in the cellar.
