Hernandez discovers the best Valencian wine in a blind tasting at the Expo
She began somewhat nervously, because that business of being the Councilor for Agriculture and having to face a blind tasting of wines, during which it is supposed that her appreciation of the best one will coincide with the Valencian product, is frightening. To be patriotic is all very well, but with your eyes blindfolded and among the people… And if this doesn’t turn out right? But it did, and the nerves turned into great satisfaction and a standing ovation from the people.

Vall de Xaló, the black Mistela
Neither are all muscatels mistelas, nor are all mistelas muscatel. The technique of adding alcohol to an unfermented grape juice to stop its fermentation is so ancient that it has been tried with all wines. What is aimed at with the misteization is to create a long lasting wine, sweet and enologically inalterable (by the presence of added alcohol). But it has been done with Malvasia, White Grenache or Peluda, Merlot, red Grenache, yes a red mistela! And even with the german Gewurztraminer, which if you think about it, being an aromatic variety is not so surprising. The professor and alma mater of the School of Enology from Requena, Felix Quartero, a good man and an extraordinary enologist, elaborated a mistela from Gerwurztraminer at the school’s winery which is the best I ever tasted.
