Manda Huevos Blanco Carramainas 2018
Descripción
El nombre de este vino homenajea la expresión típica española que habla de la frustración ante la imposición de algo; y es que, paradójicamente, Norrel Robertson se vio en la necesidad de elaborar sus vinos fuera de la Denominación de Origen Catalayud aunque sus viñedos se encontrasen en el entorno de dicha localidad. Un blanco fresco y untuoso, con 10 meses de crianza sobre sus lías que le confieren corpulencia y personalidad.

Opinión de los críticos
The regular white 2018 Manda Huevos Blanco Carramainas was produced with grapes from the single vineyard that is mentioned on the label. There is a skin-contact version of grapes from this same plot, but these grapes were harvested 12 days earlier than those destined to ferment with the skins, as the aim here was to achieve higher acidity and freshness and let the lees rather than the skins be the ones defining the style of the bottled wine. This is 95% old-vine Macabeo with only 5% Garnacha Blanca, with good ripeness and bright acidity. It fermented after a slow pressing and one night of settling in 500- and 900-liter oak barrels, where it was kept with the full lees for two months. It was then racked into Flextank (plastic) eggs with fine lees and then matured for another 12 months. It has a Burgundian profile, going back to the style of the 2014, in a leesy and smoky style, still very young and undeveloped. There's also something that reminded me of old-style white Rioja. The palate is vibrant and has pungent citrus acidity. It feels like a white to lay down, as it should develop nicely in the bottle. 2,581 bottles were filled in November 2019.
