The grapes were sun dried for a few hours, and the wine has less biological influence and more limestone influence despite having aged under a veil of flor yeasts; it comes from a plot of more concentration than the regular Macharnudo. 2022 was already an intense vintage; they wanted to avoid the wine being too heavy, and the wine shows superb. The La Escribana also comes from the Macharnudo vineyard, but this wine comes from a different plot in Macharnudo, an adjacent plot of very old vines (older than the others), looking for finesse and definition in the palate. It is more of a white wine than a flor wine. It was a dry year, and despite everything, the wine finished with a moderate 13.5% alcohol.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe regular Macharnudo they had produced since 2016 will now include the name of the plot, El Notario, to distinguish it from these new bottlings. This 2022 has a powdery, chalky mouthfeel, very much the expression of the albariza calcareous soils. It doesn't have high acidity but has very good freshness and balance and a tasty minerality that makes you salivate; it's super tasty. This should bloom with a couple of years in bottle. There are some 6,000 bottles. It was bottled in July 2023. This is not in the Jerez\/Sherry appellation, but there's an initiative to create a separate appellation of origin for these unfortified white wines.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"AOC Selections","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47432665039081,"sku":"221387","price":71.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0533\/9729\/1161\/files\/White_Wine_Bottle_Blank_Background_removed_2048_x_2048_519fd9bc-0686-46ee-8255-7dfe8a511b35.png?v=1720814164","url":"https:\/\/www.aocselections.com\/products\/2022-m-ant-de-la-riva-la-riva-macharnudo-vino-de-pasto-blanco","provider":"AOC Selections","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
