This November, we sampled the first iterations of what will become Elisenda 2025 and Refugi 2025, two of the estate&#8217;s benchmark Cl\u00e0ssic Pened\u00e8s cuv\u00e9es. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Elisenda: a tribut to the past, a toast to the futur <\/strong><br \/>\nFor Loxarel, Elisenda is a homage to the generations of winegrowers who came before in the Mitjans-Nin family. Crafted form Parellada Mont\u00f2nega sourced form old, high-altitude vines in Pla de Manlleu and from Xarel\u00b7lo Vermell grown on the Can Mayol esate in Vilov\u00ed del Pened\u00e8s, the wine undergoes a slow primary fermentation lasting three to four months. This is followed by blending and a second fermentation, after which it vill rest for al least 15 months in the historic Refugi Antiaeri beneath Can Mayol. <br \/>The 2025 vintage promises an Elisenda of balance, freshness and longevity, shaped by favourable conditions throughout the growing season.   <\/p>\n<div class=\"ast-oembed-container \" style=\"height: 100%;\"><iframe title=\"\ud83d\udfe0 Tastem el vi base de l\u2019Elisenda 2025!\" width=\"422\" height=\"750\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tUh5bxxkBYY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Refugi: history, memory and roots<br \/>\n<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Produced form Xarel\u00b7lo grown near the former airfield of Vilov\u00ed del Pened\u00e8s, Refugi begins with a tree-to-four-month primary fermentation in 500-litre oak barrels.
