Elegant, complex aromas come to the fore on the nose with notes of green apple, tangerine and grapefruit together with hints of stone fruit, such as peach, and nuances of white flowers and creamy vanilla. A gentle, smooth entry on the palate develops with lovely harmony and freshness to reveal volume, minerality and complex fruit flavor, followed by a long, crisp finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBlend: 40% Viura, 30% Grenache Blanc, 30% Maturana\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCritical Acclaim\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eJS95\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e James Suckling\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Structured, complex and layered white with medium body and a creamy, phenolic texture. Dried lemons, apricot stones, cedar, flint and sea salt. Long and evolving. Very fresh, too.

It fermented in small barrels with indigenous yeasts and then matured in concrete eggs for three months and new barriques built in their own cooperage for six months. The wine is 13.2%alcohol and has a pH of 3.2 with very good acidity. There are only 37 hectares of Maturana Blanca in Rioja, of which they have eight. It's the same grape as the extinct Ribadavia variety from Galicia. The variety disappeared because it delivers very low yields, but they love the quality when it's picked fully ripe when it still keeps very good acidity. The wine is still a little oaky and powerful, from a warm and dry year, but the palate is electric and almost salty. Rating: 94+\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Muga","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43572707623136,"sku":"113344","price":50.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/products\/muga-flor-de-muga-blanco_1.jpg?v=1666370834","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/flor-de-muga-blanco-2019-750ml","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
