White peach, lemon curd, bay leaves, fennel, anise, wet stone, and sea salt. 90% Listan Blanco (or Palomino), 10% Albillo Criollo for acidity. 20% aged in French oak for 2-3 months. Lightly fined, no filtration. High minerality and salinity on the palate. Moderate minus acidity. Medium body.

Like a lot of Spanish whites, it’s razor sharp with pronounced minerality and acidity. Green apple, wet stone, lime peel. You’d think being from a warmer climate it would be riper and more lush, but that is certainly not the case here.
