Forlong Blanco 2018
Descripción
Forlong Blanco es un vino ecológico elaborado a partir de la unión de la Palomino fino (90%) y la Pedro Ximenez (10%), conservadas con sus lías en depósitos herméticamente cerrados. Un ejercicio de finura y expresión que nos entrega un blanco muy original, rico, con intrigantes aromas herbáceos y salinos y con una complejidad interesante en boca. Fresco y cálido a la vez y muy mineral, con recuerdos de tiza que evocan directamente al suelo.

Opinión de los críticos
I was quite surprised by the golden/orange color of the 2018 Blanco (and also the 80/20), where the profile was more of an "orange wine," both in the color and the aromas and also the faintly tannic palate. It feels more concentrated and structured. Alejandro Narvaez from Forlong explained that they did one week more of maceration with the skins and they also did more bâtonnage, so they clearly extracted some more. I think the process is a bit too strong and tends to mark the wine more than a softer vinification. With time in the glass, it developed more medicinal and balsamic aromas, and the wine came through as if it was from a ripe year. 22,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in February 2019.
