Waxy, melon , peach, citrus rind nose. Like a canary, honeydew, but field fresh.
Round, and so fresh… you might not guess 2014. There’s no heaviness from wood, though it’s there. Very nice on a summer evening with cod over potatoes and onion w some chorizo. Refreshing, yet full. As it warms it pays dividends, especially in the corners of your mouth.
An interesting creature, not grassy, leaning toward oxidative like LdH, but definitely it’s own thing.
85% Viura, 10% Garnacha, 5% Maturana. Now there’s one that needs investigation. Not your usual filler.
Glad I stumbled on it.

Rather dry, light orange wine. Its pale, light orange color is a surprise , as is the taste. Apricot and peach hints with a drier, stonier finish. Would buy again. Maule Valley, torontel grapes — a month ago
