Muti Rias Baixas Albarino 2018 - First Bottle

Reviews

93+ Robert Parker's Wine Advocate -
The Albarino 2018 Muti is a collaboration with their US importers and sold there exclusively. It was produced with grapes from a 60-year-old vineyard in the village of Meis. It fermented in stainless steel and matured for one year in oak foudre. They look for a profile with volume, but in 2018, it feels especially fresh?the nose is a little closed, and it feels quite young. The palate is quite straightforward, clean and fresh and should improve with a little more time in bottle. 1,200 bottles produced. It was bottled in March 2020.

60 year old vineyards! Amazing. And that is the key there -- this wine SOARS with gorgeous lemon/lime, sea air, crushed shells, and complex florals and stone fruits. A HEAD-SPINNER, not to mention the price!!

Patrick Mata is a well-known importer of Spanish wines and an expert himself on the varietals of Spain. He partnered with Rodrigo Mendez to make this classic expression of lip-smacking Albarino with its signature salinity, flinty minerality and mouthwatering acidity.

Utterly compelling at this price -- you’ll wish you bought more!

PAIRING IDEAS: Oysters, of course, top the list for salinity-laden wines like this. But consider the humble fish taco (with lime crema)! Easy to make, perfect with this crisp, bracing, clean wine.

MUSIC SUGGESTIONS: ELO. Yes, "ELO’s Greatest Hits", back to back, is a perfect soundtrack for drinking this electric, expansive white!

About the Producer

Muti Albarino was conceived as a tribute to Patrick Mata’s mother Christiane, with whom he spoke German at home – “Muti” means “Mom” in German. Made by Rodrigo Mendez and Patrick’s lifelong friend and co-founder of Olé, Alberto Orte, Muti is a classic expression of Salnes Albarino. Muti is sourced from three different sites. The first vineyard was planted in 1912, with granite soil, located in the town of Palina, just 30 meters (100 feet) from the Atlantic Ocean. The other vineyards were planted in 1972, located in the towns of Meaño and Dena. All in all, this classic Albarino showcases the classic terroir of Rías Baixas, with intensely maritime character, framed by salinity, flinty minerality and mouthwatering acidity.
