Nisia Las Suertes, 2021
Winery:
Bodegas Vatan
"A rich and creamy white in a graceful frame, with well-honed acidity enlivening flavors of nectarine, passion fruit and preserved lemon, plus delicate, aromatic notes of herb and white blossom. Hints of chalk and saline play on the lingering finish. Drink now through 2028." Alison Napjus, Wine Spectator
