2. Sommelier Notes
Appearance: A pale golden-yellow color with steely hues. Brilliant with a notable density that anticipates its body on the palate.
Nose: Great aromatic complexity. Stone fruits like peach and apricot dominate, followed by ripe yellow apple and delicate citrus hints of grapefruit. The background reveals the saline minerality characteristic of the Valle de Bernal.
Palate: Broad, enveloping, and creamy entry. This is a wine with more "flesh" and volume, where acidity is perfectly integrated, leading to a long, elegant, and persistent finish.
