March 2025 (Vintage 2024)

This shows golden fruit, white flowers and chamomile on the nose. The palate is medium- to full-bodied, crunchy and textured, with a chewy yet pleasant mouthfeel and persistent freshness. Incisive and enjoyable. A blend of semillon and chenin blanc. Drink now.

May 2025 (Vintage 2024)

A blend of 60% Sémillon and 40% Chenin Blanc from vines planted in 1983, the 2024 Appellation Luján de Cuyo White Clay matured for up to eight months in barrique. Introducing itself with an herbal, tropical and creamy nose, the palate is oily and rich before transitioning to a vibrant, succulent and gently tensile finish.

November 2025 (Vintage 2024)

Subtle, rich details of honey and chamomile lure you in, but they’re fool’s gold, as vibrant acidity, crushed rock and salt drive the palate, with yellow apple and apricot flavors at the center. Ends with hints of herbs and more mineral notes on the refreshing finish. Sémillon and Chenin.
