Nose: Of great aromatic complexity. Stone fruits such as peach and apricot dominate, followed by ripe yellow apple and delicate citrus notes of grapefruit. The background reveals the characteristic saline minerality of the Bernal Valley.
Palate: Broad, enveloping, and unctuous entry. It is a wine with more "flesh" and volume, where the acidity is perfectly integrated, leading to a long, elegant, and persistent finish.
