Clos 15 Blanc de Blancs (750ml)

A dry, mevushal white from Bodegas Pinord in Catalonia's Penedès, built on the indigenous trio that anchors the Clos15 collection — Xarel-Lo, Macabeo, and a splash of Moscatell for lift. Pinord has worked these clos since 1942; this is the everyday white that earns its keep.

Mood: Bright, easy, Friday lunch.

Tasting notes

Aromas of green apple, white peach, and a thread of orange blossom from the Moscatell. The palate is clean and dry, with citrus pith and a chalky Penedès minerality. Finish is short and refreshing, built for the table rather than contemplation.

Food pairing

Shabbos lunch white — gefilte fish, schnitzel, herbed roast chicken, summer salads. Strong enough for a creamy dairy pasta, gentle enough to start the meal.
