2019 Verdelho
The color is medium yellow with a green tint. The wine opens with fresh aromas of Pippin apple, orange zest, pineapple and kiwi. With time in the glass, a second wave of aromas appears: Crenshaw melon, pear and tropical notes of guava and papaya. Flavors parallel the aromas. In the mouth, the texture is round, silky, and delicate. The wine finishes very crisp and racy, a multi-faceted wine for warm spring & summer afternoons around the pool or patio.
Food Pairings: Our Verdelho excels when paired with delicate white fish like Petrale sole, niçoise salad and ripe, freshly sliced fruits. Mild white cheeses, both creamy and hard, along with goat cheese also pair very well with this wine.

2019 “The Princess” Rosé
The color is cranberry red with blue and violet hues at the edge of the glass. Predominant aromas are floral, very reminiscent of roses and honeysuckle. Fruit aromas begin with Bing cherry and strawberry with hints of pomegranate, kiwi and orange zest. Flavors are similar with bright acidity, followed by a round and silky texture. The finish is crisp and zesty; very refreshing, while inviting another glass!
Food Pairings: This Rosé is excellent with fresh sliced fruits, with lighter, tangy cheeses, appetizers or with delicate fish courses such as trout or filet of sole.

2016 La Reina, Estate Bottled
The color is deep ruby red with blue and violet hues. The aromas are of black fruit: blackberry, cassis, licorice, nutmeg and clove. The flavors follow similarly: elderberry, currants and dark bakers chocolate with nuances of allspice and new French Oak. On the palate the wine is very full, found and coating. In the finish, sweet, fine-grain tannins prevail with the last notes of oak. In summary, this wine is very aromatic, flavorful and elegant both for near term drinking and after 8-12 years of bottle aging.
