Produced with Garnacha Blanca grapes, the substantial 2017 Blanc d'Orto has varietal aromas of waxy apples intermixed with notions of bay leaf and other aromatic herbs. It was bottled unoaked and has the purity of fruit I was expecting, with a dry and medium-bodied palate with good balance. There is a bitter twist in the finish. 3,800 bottles and 48 magnums were filled in July 2018.
