Description

Product description for Enric Soler Nun Vinya dels Taus 2022

Enric Soler was a well-known Spanish sommelier in Barcelona in his first life. He was therefore well-versed in wine when, in 2004, his late grandfather granted him a vineyard of approximately 1.5 hectares. It wasn’t just any vineyard, but the one with perhaps the oldest Xarel·lo vines in the Penedès, planted in 1945. The vineyard is secluded between two hills in Sabanell. Its name, Taus, also led to Enric Soler’s first wine, Vinya dels Taus, which became arguably the best-known single-varietal Xarel·lo. At that time, hardly anyone was cultivating the grape variety as a single-varietal; it was almost always reserved for Cava. In the meantime, Enric and his wife Mercé have planted a second plot with a Sélection Massale des Taus directly next to the vineyard and have also grafted a plot of Xarel·lo onto old roots at an altitude of 500 meters in the Alto Penedès, where otherwise only Parellada grows.

The 2022 Nun Vinya Dels Taus was cropped from a warm and dry year with some heat waves during the summer, and the wine has muscle and a little more power but balanced with great freshness and acidity. It’s very expressive, varietal and clean with very good oak that is noticeable but not intrusive. It’s a neat and elegant wine, nicely crafted. The vines, planted in 1945, are farmed organically and biodynamically, but the bottle wears no certification. The wine has 13% alcohol, keeping a pH of 3.0 and 6.9 grams of acidity. It fermented with indigenous yeasts in 300-liter French oak barrels, 35% of them new, where the wine matured for eight to 10 months. 2,454 bottles produced.
