The white 2012 Muradella is pure Treixadura from 15 year old vines on clay and iron soils plus some grapes selected from older (25-30 years) vines on sandy granite soils with showy aromas of exotic spices, fennel, aniseed and mainly soil notes. It has a Chablis-like minerality, hinting on being saline. As with all of José Luis Mateo's wines, this was fermented with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel and 500-liter barrels and matured in contact with the lees for nine months before being assembled and aged for a further 12 months in stainless steel before being bottled unfiltered. It has intense, piercing flavors, high pitched, very fresh and again mineral with some austere, herbal and spicy tones. This is simply superb. Ready to drink or to slowly develop in bottle. A pure, clean, mineral white at the quality helm of Galicia. 2,600 bottles were filled
