A 2019 Xarel·lo that’s been waiting patiently while you weren’t looking. Six days on skins, oak and stainless steel ageing, and 850 bottles — this is Joan’s most textural, uncompromising expression of the grape.
Xarel·lo • Penedès • Skin contact • 850 bottles • Biodynamic
Joan Rubió launched Tiques on his family’s 9-hectare biodynamic estate in 2015, and the Obstinat — “obstinate” in Catalan — lives up to its name. From carefully selected parcels, six days of skin maceration before ageing in a combination of stainless steel and old oak, unfined, unfiltered, no added sulphites. The 2019 vintage has had years in bottle to pull itself together, and the extra time shows: the fruit is deep and composed, the texture is real, and the saline mineral finish is exactly what old Xarel·lo from good Penedès soils tastes like when treated with patience.
Only 850 bottles made.
