Nelin 2020
HK$ 497.10
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2020 Nelin suffers a bit in comparison with the 2019 vintage that I tasted next to it. There was some mildew, but less than in other zones, and they produced a little less wine. The wine is concentrated, powerful and ripe at 14.5% alcohol, reflecting a warmer year of lower yields. It has some fine tannins. They always play a little with the skins, but he doesn't like the skin contact with the Garnacha Blanca, but even so it shows, also I guess because of the character of the year. The wine is compact and powerful, not as nuanced as the 2019, a little foursquare and in need of time in bottle and/or powerful food. 6,500 bottles produced.

Description
Nelin is a crianza white wine made from Garnacha Blanca and Macabeo grapes by the Clos Mogador winery in the region of Catalonia, D.O.Q. Priorat. Priorat.
This wine is made from grapes coming from 5.8 hectares divided into 4 plots.
The soils of the vineyards are composed of partially decomposed slate and quartz at an altitude of between 350 and 500 metres above sea level, under a temperate climate with a strong Mediterranean influence.
Winemaking
The grapes are harvested by hand and transported in 10 kg boxes, taking advantage of the low morning temperatures to avoid oxidation during pressing. Fermentation is carried out at controlled temperatures in oak barrels and vats with indigenous yeasts.
Ageing takes place for 12 months in 1200 litre oak vats and a further 6 months in stainless steel tanks.
Taste
Nelin is a white wine with intense, complex and seductive aromas of spices and mineral notes.
In the mouth it is opulent and unctuous. Its intense feel is surprising for a white wine. It permeates the palate with a balanced acidity that refreshes its long finish. It is a wine with a lot of finesse and nuances.
A deep and mineral wine
Nelin is a wonderful interpretation by the Barbier family of the concept of white wine in Priorat.
This wine masterfully showcases the harmony of Priorat terroir for a Catalan cuisine at its peak.
In the gastronomic field, it is a wine especially recommended as a gift and as an accompaniment to clams and coquinas a la marinera or pickled oysters.
