Monte Xanic Vina Kristel Sauvignon Blanc 2023

100% Sauvignon Blanc

Mexico´s ‘1st Boutique Winery’ produces this special wine from the oldest estate grown grapes, harvested by hand from the single-vineyard named ‘Kristel’. These vines average 50 years in age and deliver the most flavorful grapes of the Valle de Guadalupe terroir. Half of the grapes used in this bottle were harvest early in the season to capture bright acidity & green herbal notes. The rest were harvested at the peak of ripeness later in the season for structure.  

Green yellow with straw hues. Bright and luminous.  It is a frank & fragrant wine with high intensity. Expressive notes of zesty citrus fruits such as grapefruit, key-lime and Meyer lemon, complemented by fresh tropical fruits such as guava, white melon, passionfruit & green mango. Floral notes of orange blossoms & white aromatic flowers. Lemon tea, almonds and a superb mineral tone of salt-air reminiscent of the ocean, close this unique and complex nose.  On the palate, it is smooth, dry, superbly fresh with bright acidity. A well-balanced wine with a medium to full body and an aromatically long persistence. Delicate tones of fine salt close the food friendly & tasty finish.  12.2% ABV
