AT Roca Anima Mundi Xarello 2020

Anima Mundi is a side-project from Agustí Torello Roca, winemaker for his family’s estate winery AT Roca in the Alt Penedès region of Catalonia. Agustí’s goal for this project is to show the true expression of grape and place through keen observation of the land. Anima Mundi is a theory of Plato’s, translating to “the soul of the world.” Much in the way that the soul is connected to the body, Agustí sees wine as a way for us to connect with the Earth. Gres is from vineyards of Xarel-lo planted between 1956 and 1974 in Sant Sebastià dels Gorgs. This Xarel-lo is from a single, north-facing vineyard named “Vinya del Boet Vell,” planted in 1978 in extremely calcareous soils on their property in Sant Sebastià dels Gorgs. This is a deeply textural white wine with savory fruit and minerality, not unlike a Grand Cru Chablis.
