2021 Atance Blanco Cuvee #1, Valencia, Spain (750ml)
About the Icons
A zippy and refreshing recent discovery from grape varieties that fly much below the radar, Merseguera and Malvasia - especially the former, which isn't much known outside of Spain. If you are looking for a delicious "house white" for daily consumption, Atance Cuvée #1 is hard to beat. Certified Organic.
Producer notes ~ "BLEND | 70% Merseguera & 30% Malvasia VINEYARDS | Organic viticulture and hand picked grapes from bush vines in Requena, specifically the Conejeros farm with clay-limestone and sandy soils at 800 meters. WINEMAKING | Vinification and elevage in stainless steel. PRESS HISTORY | 2020 - WA - “...balanced and tender, clean and long.” 2019 - WA - “...subtle and serious, a wine with more nuance and strong personality, quite amazing for the price.” TASTING NOTES | Floral aromas with tropical fruits - nicely balanced freshness with melon, apricot and pear. There is a prickly quality from the mineral acidity that makes this a fun pairing with a variety of dishes from salty tapas to heartier pastas." - SS
