Tasting Notes

Nose

Vivid and green — fresh-cut agave leaf, cucumber water, light vegetal smoke. Distinctly different in character from the Oaxacan expressions.

Palate

Saline and herbal. Cucumber, green pepper, roasted agave hearts, a whisper of smoke. Bright natural acidity.

Finish

Clean and refreshing. The greenness lingers. Mineral close.

How to Serve

Lightly chilled — the one expression in the range that benefits from it.

Food Pairing

Ceviche, grilled fish, green salads with citrus dressing.
