This is floral with subtle white fruit. The palate is balanced and harmonious, with a subtle texture and freshness. The wine spent a year and a half in tanks and then another year in bottle. A blend of a third each of dona branca, verdello antiguo and treixadura, all co-fermented. From different parcels around the town of Verín. Drink now or hold. (94) JACOBO GARCIA-ANDRADE LLAMAS, JamesSuckling.com
The 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.
