Details
Mistela del Montsant Blanca
The Mistela Blanca produced by Celler el Masroig is a sweet fortified Spanish white wine made solely from old-vines White Grenache.
The overripe grapes were harvested in late October. Once in the cellar, they were destemmed, cold-macerated and pressed. The resulting wine must was fermented in stainless steel tanks and fermented for around a month. The fermentation process was stopped through the addition of wine alcohol, with a resulting final content of 15%. Finally this Mistela del Montsant Blanca was cold-stabilized and gently filtered.
The name Mistela, incidentally, is a Catalan word that means "fortified wine".

|---|---|
| Nose | Clean, evocative aromas of quince preserve, bone fruit, figs and raisins, nuanced by some subtle spicy notes and dim remembrances of wet earth and garrigue.
|
| Palate | Smooth and gently sweet, Mistela Blanca de Masroig has a stupendous freshness that enlivens the passage through the palate. Remembrances of white flowers, apricots, dry fruit and garrigue. Long finish.

| Our personal opinion | Perfectly balanced, the sweet fortified wine Mistela del Montsant Blanca is quite a surprise. Serve it cool.
