Tasting Notes
It has many aromatic layers, with floral and citrus notes that combine with hints of fresh grass, white fruits and orange. In the mouth, floral, fresh and fruity flavors are in perfect balance with the unctuousness of a successful aging in barrels. A wine with a mineral, persistent finish and a great aging potential.
Food Pairings
Fish, rabbit, Asian food and spicy and hot sauces.

Tasting Notes
This is a blend with many layers on the nose thanks to the blend of varieties. Sauvignon Blanc brings fresh-ness, the Torrontés, the floral notes and the Semillón, stone fruits. This white wine has very good texture on the mouth, coming from the work made on lees. The wood is very harmonic, which makes it a very elegant wine.
Food Pairings
Fish, rabbit, Asian food and hot sauces.
