What does the name Balero mean?

It refers to the traditional Mexican toy, symbolizing the perfect balance the wine seeks between its three grape varietals and its time in barrel.

Is it a high-alcohol wine?

Despite coming from a warm region, Balero carefully maintains balanced alcohol (around 13.8%), prioritizing freshness and drinkability over extreme potency.

Does it need to be aerated before drinking?

15 to 20 minutes of aeration is enough for the wine to express its aromatic potential, though it is very enjoyable straight after opening.
