I tasted two vintages of the eponymous white, the youngest of which was the tender and recently bottled 2021 Quinta da Muradella Blanco, which I suspect might take time to be released while waiting for the complexity this wine has the track record to develop in bottle. This is no longer pure Treixadura, as it now contains 20% Verdello Antiguo (the old clone of Godello) and 5% Dona Blanca. All the whites have a longish élevage, here 15 months with lees in the fermentation vessels, stainless steel for the Treixadura and used foudre for the rest, and then a further year in stainless steel already blended. It has a juicy palate with some baby fat, despite the moderate 12.86% alcohol and the good freshness. It's quite shy and takes time to unfurl subtle notes of dry flowers, herbs and chamomile, with the stony Muradella signature. 2,500 numbered bottles produced. It was bottled in August 2023.- LG

The 2021 Quinta da Muradella is 95% Treixadura with 5% Verdello and Doña Blanca from Monterrei. Initially closed on the nose, it opens to herbal notes, green apple and a touch of oak, later revealing hints of acacia. This is pleasant, taut and fruity, with fresh acidity, breadth and subtle grip. Over time, it gains complexity and depth, making for a very distinctive expression. – By Joaquín Hidalgo on September 2025
