Mustiguillo Mestizaje - Mestis Blanco, Valencia, Spain 2020

I tasted two vintages of some wines, which is always a good opportunity to compare two years side by side, like the white 2019 Mestizaje Blanco that I tasted next to the 2020. It comes from Finca Calvestra at 920 meters in altitude, so a Mediterranean white looking for freshness through altitude. This is a blend of 65% Merseguera, 24% Viognier and 11% Malvasa matured in concrete and stainless steel for six months. It has medium ripeness at 13.5% alcohol and good freshness and acidity. It has a very expressive, complex and developed nose, with notes of flowers and pollen, a little exuberant but with a very balanced and mineral palate. 54,896 bottles produced. It was bottled in April 2020.
