If Soler's flagship Nun is the deep cut and Istiu is the summer wine, "Improvisacio" is the most expressive of his middle tier — and one of the most exciting Spanish whites you can put on the table. Enric Soler, a former Spanish Sommelier Champion turned full-time vigneron in 2004, farms his old-vine Xarel-lo plots in Penedes biodynamically, ferments wild and works hands-off. The Improvisacio (around 6,000 bottles) is fermented and aged in a combination of Austrian Stockinger barrels and concrete eggs — a deliberate move away from new oak that lets Xarel-lo's chiseled, herb-flecked, saline personality come through unfiltered. Apple, fennel, white flowers and crushed stone, all carried by a deeply textural mid-palate. This is what serious Mediterranean white wine looks like.

"Enric Soler said he thinks the 2024 wines are a miracle, because it didn't rain until quite late and the plants were exhausted, close to dying; so, to have the elegance and approachability the wines have is almost unthinkable. The three plots that contributed to the 2024 Improvisació fermented and matured exclusively in Austrian oak foudres, where the wine matured for nine months with lees. Every year, the color of the label changes, and in 2024, it is green. The wine has some fragility and is ethereal, young and tender (I think "tender" is a very good descriptor for the vintage), and it has lower alcohol, 12%, with a pH of 3.25 and 5.1 grams of acidity. The oak feels better integrated despite the fact that 100% of the wine aged in wood—-in other vintages, part of the wine matured in concrete egg, but not in 2024. 4,840 bottles produced. It was bottled in June 2025." —Luis Gutiérrez

More about Enric Soler

It’s rare that we find a winemaker who focuses all of his attention, all of his energy, on one grape variety—but that’s exactly what Enric Soler does, in the Penedès, with that region’s most noble grape, Xarel-lo.

Enric was working as a sommelier in Barcelona until the death of his grandfather inspired him to pack up and move back to his ancestral homeland, where his grandfather had planted vines in the 1940s. He embarked on a deeply personal project to create three different wines from three different plots of Xarel-lo, planted at different times and on different soil types.

Predominantly known as one of the three main grapes blended into Cava, Xarel-lo (cha-rel-lo) produces incredibly aromatic and complex still wines. Enric’s are unlike any other Spanish white wine we know—bright and herbal, with notes of citrus and fennel, but deeply concentrated. In each of his cuvées runs a minerality that belies the inherent richness of the grape. We can’t get enough!

Each plot is farmed biodynamically, and minimalism is the name of the game both in the vineyards and in the cellar. A keen sense of balance, honed by Enric’s somm years, is the defining feature of his wines.

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Roast chicken with lemon and herbs, grilled fish, paella, salt cod, fresh and aged manchego, charcuterie boards. The texture and salinity also handle creamier dishes like cauliflower gratin.

Tasting Profile

Textural and savory. Yellow apple, quince, fennel pollen, white flowers and a clear note of crushed stone. Round mid-palate (a nod to the concrete eggs and foudre), bright acid, long saline finish.
