Mixtura Blanco 2019

Mixtura 2019 is made with treixadura and albariño from three different plots, each exposed to different climates. The treixadura comes exclusively from the Ribeiro area, hand-harvested in different vineyards at altitudes between 90 and 200 meters, with soils of sabrego (decomposed granite). Ribeiro has a transitional climate with a Mediterranean character softened by the influence of the Atlantic Ocean. Part of the albariño comes from a vineyard in Condado do Tea, the southernmost subzone of Rías Baixas, bordering Portugal. The vineyard is south-facing, located at an altitude of 400 meters, planted on sandy soils of decomposed granite, with an Atlantic climate warmer than the neighboring Salnés Valley subzone. The other part of the albariño for the blend comes from Melgaço, a village and sub-zone of the Portuguese Vinho Verde D.O. The soils here are also sandy decomposed granite and are influenced by a cool Atlantic climate. The result is a surprising wine with a nose of great intensity and character. It is rich in herbal and floral nuances that take us back to its origin, with ripe fruit and subtle spice notes. The finish is long, flavorsome and intense. The 2019 Mixtura is a grand, structured wine capable of developing in bottle for at least a decade.
