“This wine mixes the ripe fruit of the 2018 vintage with some more austere, mineral, smoky notes and floral aromas. We aged it on its lees, adding an unctuous element. It’s exquisitely balanced with refreshing acidity and a long smooth finish. My Manga blanco will age superbly in bottle for a few more years, but it’s also offering up delicious drinking right now. This is a wine to try for anyone looking for an affordable alternative to a very high-class Chardonnay.”
