The 2021 Quinta da Muradella Monterrei Alanda Blanco is a beautifully complex and mineral-driven white from one of Spain’s most revered terroir-focused producers, Fernando González. Crafted from a blend of Doña Blanca, Treixadura and Verdello grown across diverse high-altitude sites in Monterrei, the wine captures remarkable purity, tension and Galician freshness. The nose reveals lemon zest, pear and white peach layered alongside wet granite, dry flowers and subtle herbal notes, giving the wine impressive lift and mineral complexity.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with vibrant natural acidity, soft textural depth and a long mineral finish. Layers of citrus and orchard fruit are balanced by saline freshness, subtle lees complexity and stony tension, finishing refined, energetic and beautifully detailed with exceptional precision and ageing potential.
