Natalie's Score: 92/100

Cune Blanco Reserva 2019 is produced from Viura grapes from vines planted in 1973 in clay-rich soils around the village of Torre Montalvo. The vineyard is protected from the frost by the small Barbarroja mountain. This is the second vintage of the Reserva white similar to the style of wine they produced in the 1950s and 1960s. The 2019 vintage is dry, medium-bodied and citrusy with fine herbs, dried florals and smoky notes, chalky-textured and vibrant on the palate. The wine was matured in a combination of concrete, oak vats and barrel for 18 months. Chill and enjoy it through 2028.

Food pairings: grilled chicken, calamari, salmon patties, pork tenderloin.
