Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2021 Mountain Blanco is balsamic, herbal and minty, quite expressive and not excessively varietal. Harvest was early—they started the 16th of August—and cropped from a very warm year that delivered low yields. The wine has 13.5% alcohol and a low pH that makes it quite balanced and fresh. It's still very young and a little reductive, but it was very recently bottled and that's normal for a wine that matures exclusively in stainless steel. It has a round palate with marked flavors and a faint bitter twist in the finish. 12,011 bottles were filled in July 2022. It's still closed and will be better with one more year in bottle.

Description
Mountain Blanco is a dry white wine produced by Compañía de Vinos Telmo Rodríguez. It is produced in the Sierras de Málaga region, specifically in the villages of Cómpeta and Árchez. This wine is distinguished by its aromatic intensity and complexity in the mouth. The variety used for its production is 100% Moscatel de Alejandría. The vineyards are located at an altitude of 550 metres above sea level on stony, fine-textured soils, developed from Paleozoic schist.
Winemaking
The viticulture is traditional, with vineyards in polyculture of vines and olive trees, and the grapes are harvested by hand. The winemaking process includes pressing in oil presses with esparto grass hoods and ageing is carried out in stainless steel tanks, thus maintaining the freshness and balance of the wine.
Taste
Mountain Blanco stands out for its herbal aroma with hints of nettle, being floral and fruity on the nose. On the palate, it is a dry wine, with spicy touches and a great freshness, characteristics that make it ideal to accompany oily fish and seafood. Despite its freshness, it does not lack corpulence and has a finish with a slight bitter touch that adds complexity.
