Mexicos 1st Boutique Winery produces this special wine from the oldest estate grown grapes, harvested by hand from the single-vineyard named Kristel. These vines average 50 years in age and deliver the most flavorful grapes of the Valle de Guadalupe terroir. Half of the grapes used in this bottle were harvest early in the season to capture bright acidity & green herbal notes. The rest were harvested at the peak of ripeness later in the season for structure. It is a frank & fragrant wine with high intensity. Expressive notes of zesty citrus fruits such as grapefruit, key-lime and Meyer lemon, complemented by fresh tropical fruits such as guava, white melon, passionfruit & green mango. Floral notes of orange blossoms & white aromatic flowers. Lemon tea, almonds and a superb mineral tone of salt-air reminiscent of the ocean, close this unique and complex nose. Ideal for seafood and ceviches, fresh salads, salt-baked fish, goat cheese, fried calamari as well as poultry like grilled chicken breast. Perfect for seafood platters and oysters. Enjoy it on its own as an aperitif as well.
