Having fallen in love with the charms of Maldonado and its peaceful seaside lifestyle, Andrea Mufatto and Gerardo Michelini began spending long summer weeks near the beach town of José Ignacio – and in 2019 made their first wine there. This marked the third terroir in their boutique family portfolio, expanding from Argentina and Spain. In Maldonado, the focus is largely on the potential of Uruguayan Albariño. This ‘cru’ wine comes from a single block of vines on poor granite soils, and is aged in old oak under a veil of flor. Amanda Barnes MW: An intense nose with notes of lemon balm and sea salt. A tangy, vibrant finish with soft fruit and creaminess, balanced nicely with salinity and minerality. Distinctive. Florencia Gomez: Expressive white peaches, apricots and cream. A pretty fruit profile, pithy, long and complex. Elegant, with a mouthwatering finish. Benjamin Gubbins: Well-rounded, interesting version of barrel-fermented Albariño, Burgundian in style and it works! Plenty of ripe fruit and zest to balance the richness.
