Xarel·lo Magnum – The supreme expression of Xarel·lo
A singular cava—pure and authentic Xarel lo Magnum represents the finest expression of this variety in its most prestigious format, allowing for a more balanced and harmonious evolution thanks to the advantages of the Magnum bottle.
Its fine and persistent bubbles unfold in a pale yellow hue with greenish reflections, capturing its natural freshness. On the nose, it clearly showcases the essence of Xarel·lo: intense notes of apricot and lemon, complemented by a subtle mineral touch.
On the palate, it is dry and structured, with vibrant acidity that adds tension and energy. Its austere and bold character is expressed without embellishment, embracing purity and strength. The extended aging in a Magnum bottle allows for a slower, more refined evolution, enhancing its depth and velvety texture, with a complex and persistent finish that remains elegant over time.
The Magnum format is ideal for aging high-quality cavas, as its larger volume ensures a slower, more balanced evolution, resulting in greater stability and longevity. The lower oxygen-to-wine ratio within the bottle helps preserve the cava and optimize the development of its organoleptic qualities, enhancing its finesse and complexity as a Reserva.
Beyond its enological excellence, Xarel lo Magnum is also a tribute to art and inclusion. Its label has been designed by La Casa de Carlota in collaboration with a young gentleman with Down syndrome, bringing a unique and authentic vision to this creation.
A perfect choice for those who seek the ultimate expression of Xarel·lo in a format that elevates its greatness.

Wine tasting
In the glass, it displays a golden yellow hue with greenish glints, clear and luminous, with a slow, persistent stream of fine bubbles, reflecting its long time on lees.
On the nose, it is intense and layered, showing notes of candied lemon, dried apricot, roasted fennel, dry flowers, and aromatic roots, with hints of toasted bread, fine marzipan, and wet stones.
On the palate, it offers greater volume and weight, with a creamy, silky and firm texture, beautifully balanced by a precise acidity. Flavors of baked apple, bitter grapefruit, toasted almond, and mature yeast unfold with clarity, underpinned by a distinctive mineral backbone.
The finish is long, dry and saline, with a gastronomic elegance that makes it ideal for thoughtful pairings.
Conservation and consumption recommendations
Store the cava in a cool (10–15 °C), dry place away from direct light. Bottles should be kept in an upright position, especially after disgorgement, to avoid prolonged contact between the wine and the cork.
For optimal expression of the product, serve between 5 and 8°C, adapting the temperature according to the time of year and personal preferences. It is recommended to cool it gradually (never in the freezer) and use an ice cube tray with water and ice during service.
Gastronomy
A cava with the soul of a Mediterranean grand cru white wine, ideal for refined and expressive gastronomic pairings.
It excels with mountain-style rice dishes, such as rabbit and mushrooms or confit pork ribs, and also with comforting stews, like lentils with black sausage or porcini mushrooms.
With fine cured Iberian meats (presa, lomo, or bull blanc with truffle), it offers a mineral freshness that balances fat and umami with precision.
Pair with dishes containing nuts, almond sauces, pasta with hazelnut pesto or chestnut creams with a salty base. With eggs with white truffle or at low temperature, it finds a sensual dialogue.
It also accompanies intense seafood dishes such as sea bream, octopus, mackerel or a black fideuà with light aioli.
