The dry Moscatel from Málaga 2017 Mountain Blanco comes from a warm, dry vintage and an early harvest that required sorting of the grapes even within the same bunch. This fermented dry in stainless steel. It has an amazing nose with herbs and spices—a lot more herbal than the Moscatel—with notes of bay leaf and nettle, not a varietal nose. The palate has volume, more than I expected, and it's riper, softer and rounder than it usually is. The nose is super aromatic and the palate needs food. This is an unusual vintage that I like very much, against the trends and with potential to develop in bottle. 13,012 bottles produced. It was bottled in May 2018.
