Drinking Window: 2020 - 2025
A creative blend of equal parts of Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon and Torrontés using fruit from Finca La Delfina in Altamira. It results in an uplifting and fragrant bouquet of elderflower, dill, green tea, citrus fruits and grapey aromas. The wine spends four months in French oak barrels (60% new and 40% used) to gain texture and complexity. On the palate it is dry, with assertive acidity, a beautiful texture and a pleasant, persistent and refreshing finish.
