"The white 2017 Terra de Cuques Blanc has a marine nose with hints of iodine and salt, slowly showing some white fruit, Mediterranean herbs, fennel and dry stones. Even if 2017 was a warmer year, this blend of 90% Pedro Ximénez and 10% Moscatel kept its alcohol at 13.5%. The skin contact was shortened, and the wine is subtler and finer, with ultra fine tannins and a textured mouthfeel. This is also cleaner, with less lees aromas, and the wine is sharp and more defined. I'd never say this is a warm vintage. They believe the only way to fight climate change is with work in the vineyard, and their vines are balanced and take the heat and extremes better. It just works. 6,668 bottles were filled in June 2019."
