Pale lemon color, aromas of stone, citrus and tropical fruit with floral scents. On the palate flavors of pear, apples and pineapple with lemon citrus and mineral notes. Well balanced with lively acidity, long finish ending with fruit, mineral, citrus, floral and spicy notes.

Bright beige gold. Inviting nose of underripe yellow apples and honey. Nose is confirmed on the medium-bodied palate which adds orange rind, wet stone, and firm but approachable acidity. Finish is brief and continues the palate. Excellent South American (Uruguayan) take on Albariño that's a great match for fried foods -- I had mine with KFC -- and winter white wine fare. Drink now through 2026 (but mostly now).

Punches well above its weight. Medium bodied with white peach, lime peel, sea breeze, and slate. Great structure, texture, and acid. From maritime Uruguay. Pair with ceviche.

Pretty, but a big boy (14% ABV). Seams like oak aging, but neutral. Round mouthfeel, lemon/lime, floral, hint of lees and mandarin orange finish.
