Mixtura Blanco 2021

The 2021 Mixtura Blanco, a 50/50 blend of Treixadura and Albariño from Spain and Portugal, is still a little toasty, spicy and smoky from the oak foudres used for the aging—the foudres were new in 2019 and are slowly giving less aromas and flavors to the wines but are still noticeable. 2021 was a cool and rainy year, and despite the good ripeness reflected by the 13% alcohol, the wine has great freshness and acidity, coupled with the creaminess from the oak. This is tasty. It should age well and integrate the oak with more time in bottle. 9,372 bottles produced. It was bottled in August 2023.
