In a very individual style, this is made from the Doña Blanca grape variety, which has a neutral aromatic expression that becomes quite complex and elegant after oxidative ageing. The nose is quite developed and not very fruity, giving way to a full-bodied silky and velvety mouthfeel. It is deep but restrained, a wine that requires a lot of attention, but gives a unique impression. A masterwork by José Luis Mateo, Monterrei's leading figure. Strongly advised to match top-notch fusion food.
