Tasting Notes

Nose

Cool and mineral. Mountain air, wet limestone, dried wildflowers. The Miahuatlán altitude is distinct — higher, colder, more austere than Sola de Vega.

Palate

Precise and angular. Mineral, earthy, dried herb. The copper still preserves fine detail. Twenty years of wild growth adds weight without heaviness.

Finish

Long and clean. Mineral persists. Stone fruit emerges quietly in the late finish.

How to Serve

Neat. A comparison pour alongside Tepeztate C/C or Clay is revealing.

Food Pairing

Oysters, sashimi, mineral-driven dishes.
