2021 Michelini i Mufatto, Balsa de Piedra Semillon

Denne rene Semillon stammer fra mere end 100 år gamle stokke i den højtliggende El Peral-mark i Tupungato. Spontangæret og lagret i cement viser den en dybgul farve og en dyb og kompleks næse fra en moden vin. Det er sjældent at få lov at vise moden vin frem i denne prisklasse, men de gamle stokke fortjener det. En åben og givende næse med næsten Sauternes-lignende frugt med kvæde, gule æbler, blomster, tobak, citrusfrugt og voks, følges af en en ganske fyldig og afrundet smag med fuldmoden levende syre og masser af saftighed under den udviklede gul-orange frugt. Som en sfære af fløjlsblød frugt smyger den sig over tungen, inden den slutter i balance og harmoni. ”Amazing value”, skrev man hos Robert Parker Wine Advocate ved frigivelsen: Nu kan man endda oveni få vinen i moden tilstand!

92 points Robert Parker Wine Advocate: "The village white 2021 Balsa de Piedra Semillon comes from a great vintage for both whites and reds and was produced with grapes from an old vineyard in the village of El Peral in Tupungato. 2021 was a wet year, and Semillon is sensitive to botrytis, so they had to work more with these grapes. It was bottled unoaked after maturing in raw concrete with gross lees. It has 13% alcohol, a low pH and good acidity even after malolactic. It's very clean and balanced, with purity, texture and focused flavors. It's tasty and finishes very tasty. Amazing value. 15,000 bottles were filled in June 2022."
