Atlántida Blanco 2021

TASTING NOTES

• Color: straw yellow.
• Nose: complex and highly perfumed evokes orange blossom, fresh and dried stone fruits, lemon confit.
• Palate: soft and concentrated on the palate at the same time, with a surprising confluence of mineral, salty and fruity flavors. The juicy tangerine and lemon lead to a tasty and floral palate, ending with a pronounced salinity, no doubt due to its coastal provenance.

CURIOSITIES Atlántida
blanco is made with Vijiriega, a native variety almost extinct in Jerez, Atlántida Blanco is a history project, a wine that tells the story of an era in the history of viticulture that has already passed. Intensely expressive of the Cadiz terroir and completely unique, Atlántida Blanco is a step back in time. Atlántida Blanco is one of those projects by Alberto Orte, a tribute to his homeland of Cádiz, using a grape that had not been seen in a century in Cádiz or Jerez to make a wine of unmistakable origin. Balance, aromatic intensity and a direct line to terroir are his mission, and Atlántida Blanco exemplifies the focus of his talent. Rather than showing a piece of himself, Alberto prefers to let the sun and calcareous soils of the south. Spain speaks for itself, and with this wine, they do so to a large extent.
