Fernández Eguíluz y Carlos Sánchez, La Cantarada de las Mozas Cuvée James C. Dolan, 2017 Blanco - 0,75L

The 2017 La Cantarada de los Mozas Cuvée James C. Dolan is the same as the other white wine, but the barrel was never topped up and no sulfur was added. The wine is a little darker, and it has earthy aroma and shows more rusticity. There is a Jura-like twist here that makes it quite tasty on the palate. The wine is not really expressive on the nose, but the palate is vibrant and tasty, with an umami-like finish that makes it somewhat salty, perhaps a bit astringent. This was only a 228-liter barrique that filled 289 bottles after nine months. It was bottled in January 2019.
