"I'd say that the white 2020 Mirando al Sur is more Rioja and less Sherry every vintage. It has a pale golden color; after all, it's older than the La Bastid that I tasted next to it, and there are some subtle notes of nuts and smoke, but overall, there are no aromas of flor or curry, and the profile is getting closer to some traditional oak-aged whites from Rioja. I guess the Sherry butts used for the wine are older, and their influence on the wine is softer. It fermented and matured in 600-liter barrels for six months, followed by another 22 months in Sherry barrels. It's ripe without excess at 14% alcohol, with a round palate and soft texture and with the characteristic chalky finish."
