The wine
Ikigall is Gallina de Piel's fresh Catalan white, built on Penedès Xarel-lo with Muscat and Malvasía. Cool fermentation keeps its native fruit bright and aromatic.
Green apple, pear, citrus, fennel and white blossom lift from the glass. The palate is crisp and textured, with orchard fruit, fine acidity and a saline, mineral finish.
A lovely aperitif and a match for seafood, salads and light tapas. Serve well chilled.

View all Gallina de Piel winesGallina de Piel is an exciting Spanish project that roams the country in search of forgotten vineyards and native grapes. A collaboration of passionate winemakers, its name means goosebumps, the feeling a great wine should give. Each cuvée comes from a different corner of Spain.
From the Penedès and Empordà of Catalonia to Calatayud, Galicia and the volcanic slopes of Tenerife, the project works with old vines and local varieties. The aim is to capture the character of each place. Farming and winemaking are careful and low-intervention.
The range spans fresh Catalan whites, old-vine Garnacha and Carignan reds, mineral Galician whites and rare volcanic bottlings from the Canary Islands. Each is distinctive and expressive. Together they are a tour of Spain's hidden gems.
Gallina de Piel's wines are original, pure and full of character. They celebrate the diversity of Spanish terroir. A thrilling taste of the country's native grapes.
