Tasting Notes
Nose
Sandy and dry — the desert floor of Sola de Vega. Roasted agave, dried herbs, a faint sweetness of wild honey.
Palate
Lean and precise. Earthy and faintly savoury. Light smoke, dried fruit, clean mineral. A quiet elegance.
Finish
Medium. Clean and dry. The mineral note lingers without demanding attention.
How to Serve
Neat. An aperitif spirit — clean and stimulating before a meal.
Food Pairing
Light nibbles, olives, grilled vegetables, aged sheep's cheese.
