The 2013 Mestres 'Coquet' Gran Reserva is an outstanding effort. This blend of 40% Xarel-Lo, with equal parts Macabeo and Parellada which was disgorged in early 2018. Once in the glass the wine shows a rich light orange tone followed by a bright bouquet of white peach, green apple, brioche and orange zest. I love the intensity of the wine and the silky mouthfeel. Kumquat flavor is quite prominent, with Japanese apple, marzipan and challah bread elements all providing appeal. A complete wine, this has some marvelous aging potential and shows really good salinity and brightness at this juncture.
