| Review: |
"I was quite surprised by the expressive nose of the 2017 Blanco, because they are more focused on the texture than the nose. It's a blend of Viura with 10% Garnacha Blanca that started fermenting in stainless steel and finished in barrique, where it matured for one year. They had less impact from the frost in the whites than in the reds. The wine has citrus aromas, hints of diesel, dried yellow flowers and a touch of smoke. It's beautifully textured, with intense and pungent flavors and a clear saline note. Truly delicious. 4,500 bottles produced." |
