L'avis des experts
The 2018 EL White is a 70/30 blend of Viognier and Chardonnay aged for 12 months in French oak (one-third each of new, second and third use barrels). It comes in at 14.2% alcohol. This is sourced from vineyards at 1,800 meters above sea level. Solid in mouthfeel, this just seems substantial. While it opens with a touch of hazelnut, it quickly subsumes the wood nuances. It seems serious but bright, stuffed but graceful—a perfect food wine. So far this has been a very consistent brand, but there's not a long track record; the winery dates back only to 2008. The remaining question I have is how this will hold up over the years and whether it will turn into anything more. With this blend and brand, it may not, but it should hold for the better part of the decade, maybe more. For the moment, it seems like another winner.
