"The 2024 Blanco Altos Las Hormigas is a blend of 80% Chenin Blanc, 15% Pedro Giménez and 5% Sémillon from the Uco Valley. Attractive on the nose, it delivers pineapple notes alongside hints of wet wool, citrus and honey. The 2024 is light and balanced. The palate is fresh, vibrant and straightforward."

"Sourced from 80-year-old pergola-trained vines, the 2024 Blanco is composed of 52% Semillon, 28% Chenin Blanc and 20% Pedro Gimenez, all of which are co-planted but harvested and vinified separately. It showcases an enticing, orchard-fruit nose with elevated floral highlights. The palate is soft yet lively, finishing on a round note enhanced by tangy acidity."
