QUINTA DA MURADELLA MONTERREI ALANDA BLANCO 2021 - white

Style : Rocks & MineralsAlthough it is facinating to tast wines from these relatively obscure varieties, what shines here is the soul of Monterrei and the deft, light-handed winemaking of a skillful and intuitive winemaker. JANCIS ROBINSON MWThe 2021 Alanda Blanco is a village wine from Monterrei, a blend of Dona Blanca, Treixadura and Verdello that reflects the diversity of soils, altitudes and expositions. The varieties fermented together, being added to the vat progressively, and 1,500-liters matured in a used French oak foudre for 15 months and the rest was kept in stainless steel. It's pale, young and austere, more about soil and rocks than fruit, with notions of wet granite and dry flowers. It has contained ripeness, 13% alcohol, very good acidity, freshness and balance, with a sense of purity and transparency that is common to all whites here. It has depth, energy and light and extra vibrancy this year. It could very well be the finest white Alanda to date. 10,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in June 2023.
