Amaltea de Loxarel
DO Penedès
Varieties
White Grenache and Xarel·lo
Elaboration
Organic and biodynamic viticulture. The Grenache comes from the high-altitude area of Penedès, at over 700 meters above sea level, while the Xarel·lo is sourced from the Can Mayol estate, at 250 meters of altitude. During the winemaking process, the grapes macerate with the skins for six hours to preserve the primary fruit aromas and prevent oxidation of the must. According to Greek mythology, Amalthea is the nymph represented as the goat that nursed Zeus. The goat, the horn, and the constellations form the foundation of biodynamic agriculture.
