Bright and peppery with fresh herbs and citrus. Dry finish, a surprise.

Clean citrus flavor, but not too much acid. Fruity. Slight dry finish at the end. Hint of mango…pear… all who tried it with me, liked it very much

Great match for chicken with oregano and lemon. Herby, jalapeño, mineral finish with a nice secondary hit of tropical fruit.
