Bodegas Tajinaste Blanco Seco

A blend of 90% Listan Blanco (for flavor) and 10% Albillo Criollo (for acid). 60% is grown at 500 meters of altitude and 40% is grown at 250m altitude. Hand-harvested and carried to the winery in small boxes (15kg max) to avoid damaging the berries. 

As with almost all of the wines at Tajinaste, Agustin vinifies each parcel separately. Vinification takes place in inox tanks. 20% is aged in French barrels of 2-3 uses for 2-3 months. The wine is lightly fined with bentonite and is not filtered.

The nose is charming and easy-going, evocative of tropical fruits. The palate turns citrusy thanks to a bracing backbone of acidity. The finish is creamy and round, with a mineral edge that calls for the next sip - pronto!
