Winemaker Notes

Lovely bright gold color. On the nose the very high aromatic intensity is immediately apparent, very complex with layers of citrus fruit aromas (grapefruit, lemon), white blossom and underlying aromas of sweet spices (vanilla, cinnamon) and light toasted nuances coming through It displays good, balanced acidity on the palate with a smoothness and sensation of volume in the mouth feel. Once again we find the notes of sweet spices and lemon zest. The finish is very long, a bit mineral and fresh due to the marked acidity.

Steely aromas with a smoky, creamy edge. Minerals, roasted white almonds and green stone fruit. Pretty full-bodied and bright, with a flavorful but limpid center palate. A nice touch of phenolics and salinity at the end adds a bit more gravity to the wine. 40% viura, 30% maturana blanca and 30% garnacha blanca.

92 Jeb Dunnuck

The 2021 Flor De Muga Blanco is close to one-third each Viura, Garnacha Blanca, and Maturana Blanca, raised in new French oak. It has a slightly more reductive bouquet of crushed citrus, pear, and white flowers, and it hits the palate with medium-bodied richness, a fresh, focused mouthfeel, and beautiful overall balance. It's a solid step up over the classic white and shines for its overall balance and purity.

An overtone of mountain herbs is subtle and enticing; then, racy acidity and an underpinning of salinity work to define the palate's creamy layered flavors of pear, dried white cherry, lemon pith, clove and almond skin. Well-cut and well-spiced on the lingering finish. Viura, Garnacha Blanca and Maturana Blanca. Drink now through 2029. 1,000 cases made, 250 cases imported.
