Classic Albariño aromas predominate with herbal notes intertwined with stone fruits and citrus; textural and rounded on the palate with a little grip on the finish and rich, flavoursome fruit cut through with refreshing acidity.

Pair with white fish tacos, ceviche, burrata or feta with salad, chicken salad, padrón peppers or grilled vegetable dishes.

The 80-hectare vineyard is located in Paso Cuello, Canelones. The area  comprises clay, limestone and sedimentary and quaternary calcareous rock with high concentrations of calcium carbonate. This gives way to clay limestone soils with a neutral to slightly alkaline pH, allowing for a deep plant rooting. Spreading across high hills and slopes that favour proper water drainage and the aeration of both vegetation and grape bunches, this terroir produces mature grapes that are rich in colour, polyphenols, and structure. Vineyards are managed throughsustainable and traditional agricultural techniques. Grapes are hand-harvested.
