Product info
The Elixir cuvée is the perfect symbiosis between two terroirs: the poor sandy soils of Chipiona and the limestones of Sanlucar. This is a quite aromatic wine, but also full of complexity and very long on the palate.
Vinification
The yield is low, between 1,500 and 2,500 litres per hectare, which is very unusual for the region. Fermentation and ageing take place in old Bordeaux barrels. No compromise, a minima intervention and a minimal dose of sulfites. No filtration, no cold stabilisation before bottling.
Storage potential
Drink as from: 2023
Best moment: 2023-2024
Until: 2025.
To serve
Important notice: Alejandro Muchada’s advice is to let the bottles rest for two weeks after delivery. Once opened, this wine evolves and becomes even more complex after a few days.
Trial analysis
The colour is pale and slightly clouded. On the nose, complex notes of grapes and flowers, typical of the Muscat, combine with the saltiness and minerality of Palomino. The lovely acidity on the palate is quite unusual for this blend. After airing the wine, even more nuances and complexity appear. This wine is as pleasant as is surprising. Grand wine.

Guía Peñin (93/100)

R. Parker (91/100)

The 2019 Elixir is 100% Moscatel from Chipiona (because 2019 was a very low-yielding year and they didn't have enough Palomino). The wine achieved much higher ripeness (14% vs 12.8% in the 2018), and it feels heavier and flatter in the palate. It's all relative, because I was tasting it next to the 2018, which is a lot fresher and more vibrant. The 2019 is also darker and a little duller in color.

Wine estate

When a "cult" winemaker from Champagne, David Léclapart, enters in a partnership with an Andalusian winemaker, Alejandro Muchada, who thinks out of the box, the result is sheer magic.
They produce dry white wines out of the Palomino grape, the traditional variety for Sherry - somewhat neglected for other types of wine.
Even us, we have been swept off our feet when we tasted their wines for the first time. They showed a quality and a complexity that we were not expecting. Original, very Atlantic in style, and very mineral too.

Description

Rodri Méndez is one of the best producers of Albariño wines in Galicia. Leirana is his entry level wine, but also the perfect illustration of his style: non frills, crisp, and sharp. Rodri mainly works with older vines, and those are put into good use, in this wine as well as in his top range (the Goliardo line).
