Premio otorgado Insólito Riesling 2021.
Balcarce, provincia de Buenos Aires, es una emocionante y prometedora región de clima fresco, muy apropiada para el Riesling. Este vino es ligero y enérgico, con aromas de jazmÃn, cierta textura untuosa en el paladar medio y un retrogusto acerado de cÃtricos y lima. 2022-26
Insólito Riesling 2020.
Notas a peras en rodajas y duraznos, con toques de almendras crudas y notas florales. De cuerpo medio a intenso con textura refinada y un elegante final mineral.
Tasting notes
Delicate yellow color and green hues. A limpid and bright wine. On the nose, we find citric fruit aromas such as lime and apricot, as well as mineral sensations of graphite. Unctuous and great volume in the mouth, helping to balance the wine’s high acidity, and then we find once again its mineral profile. Long and lingering aftertaste.
