Anima Mundi, Penedes Metode Ancestrale 'Cami dels Xops', 2023
is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
Anima Mundi, the experimental offshoot of Spain’s famed AT Roca, is redefining what’s possible in Penedès, focusing on minimal intervention and deep terroir expression. Camí dels Xops, a méthode ancestrale (pét-nat) sparkling wine, is made from biodynamically farmed Xarel·lo, a grape that thrives in the region’s limestone soils. The 2023 vintage bursts with energy, offering a naturally fermented, unfiltered expression of Penedès’ raw beauty.
Lemon peel, green apple, and white flowers lead, with a gentle yeasty complexity from the ancestral method. The bubbles are fine and playful, carrying a saline, mineral streak that makes it endlessly refreshing. Dry, zippy, and full of character, it’s a pét-nat that begs for seafood, tapas, or simply a warm afternoon with good company. A pure, living expression of the land, bottled with a touch of wildness.
