Mountain Blanco 2023
HK$ 263.42
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The dry white 2023 Mountain Blanco was cropped from a year of heat and drought (again!) with less than 400 liters of rain, like in 2022, which, on the other hand, meant very healthy grapes. The harvest started the 12th of August and finished the 7th of September, and yields were very low. The grapes were picked crunchy and pressed in a very powerful vertical press using esparto wheels to separate the grapes, like they do for the sweet wine, and fermented in stainless steel, where the wine matured until bottling. This wine feels less and less varietal by the vintage; great terroirs don't make varietal wines, even with a grape like Moscatel. It's floral (jasmine) and citrusy, elegant and discrete. Tasted after much older and sweeter wines, it even has note of lychee... It comes in at 13% alcohol, with a pH of 3.37 and 4.97 grams of acidity. The palate is silky and elegant, with a bitter twist in the finish. 5,404 bottles were filled in July 2024.

Winemaking
Description
Mountain Blanco is a dry white wine produced by Compañía de Vinos Telmo Rodríguez. It is produced in the Sierras de Málaga region, specifically in the villages of Cómpeta and Árchez. This wine is distinguished by its aromatic intensity and complexity in the mouth. The variety used for its production is 100% Moscatel de Alejandría. The vineyards are located at an altitude of 550 metres above sea level on stony, fine-textured soils, developed from Paleozoic schist.
Winemaking
The viticulture is traditional, with vineyards in polyculture of vines and olive trees, and the grapes are harvested by hand. The winemaking process includes pressing in oil presses with esparto grass hoods and ageing is carried out in stainless steel tanks, thus maintaining the freshness and balance of the wine.
Taste
Mountain Blanco stands out for its herbal aroma with hints of nettle, being floral and fruity on the nose. On the palate, it is a dry wine, with spicy touches and a great freshness, characteristics that make it ideal to accompany oily fish and seafood. Despite its freshness, it does not lack corpulence and has a finish with a slight bitter touch that adds complexity.
