Mirando al Sur 2020
Description
« Mirando al Sur » est un pont entre deux mondes. Olivier Rivière rend hommage aux grands vins de table du sud en élaborant un Viura de Labastida sous voile de fleur. C'est un vin blanc vif, salin et profondément intellectuel. Un équilibre entre la fraîcheur du nord et la sagesse oxydative du sud. Avec des notes de fruits secs, de camomille et une acidité vive, ce vin est l’une des « raretés » les plus fascinantes et les plus recherchées du panorama national. Un joyau culte pour ceux qui recherchent des émotions transcendant les appellations d’origine.

L'avis des experts
This has a very intriguing and perfumed nose of dried Medierranean herbs, cloves, white flowers and a peachy note. The palate is concentrated, medium- to full-bodied, textural and unctuous, with bright, penetrating acidity that holds the wine together. Complex and harmonious. This is fermented in French oak and continues its aging in Manzanilla botas for about two years. The Sherry touch is compelling. Drink now or hold.
I'd say that the white 2020 Mirando al Sur is more Rioja and less Sherry every vintage. It has a pale golden color; after all, it's older than the La Bastid that I tasted next to it, and there are some subtle notes of nuts and smoke, but overall, there are no aromas of flor or curry, and the profile is getting closer to some traditional oak-aged whites from Rioja. I guess the Sherry butts used for the wine are older, and their influence on the wine is softer. It fermented and matured in 600-liter barrels for six months, followed by another 22 months in Sherry barrels. It's ripe without excess at 14% alcohol, with a round palate and soft texture and with the characteristic chalky finish.
