You might not recognize the name of this grape at first, but you have likely had it — Xarel·lo is one of the three traditional varieties behind Cava, Spain's beloved sparkling wine. At Bokisch Vineyards in Lodi, one of the pioneer growers of Spanish varieties in the region, it shows its characteristic weight and phenolic texture in still form. The wine opens with an abundance of citrus blossom, lime, and pineapple, with a hint of ginger and a nuttiness adding to a generous mouthfeel. A fun and unexpected discovery for anyone willing to venture outside the usual suspects.
