Tasting Note:
(Robert Parker’s rating: 90 points)
The white 2020 Durona Parellada was produced with a delicate grape with 11% alcohol. This is very tender and fruit-driven, and it has a sharp palate. It will gain complexity from aging in amphorae. It has notes of white fruit, flowers and herbs and a light palate with good balance and focused flavors. Approachable. It turned more balsamic and medicinal with time in the glass. 5,442 bottles produced. It was bottled in June 2021.
