"The 2025 Blanco, a blend of Semillon, Pedro Gimenez and Chenin Blanc from the Uco Valley, opens with herbs, lime and white peach, showing a lively aromatic profile. Cheerful in style, the palate is driven by acidity, with a lightly creamy texture and agile flow."

"The 2025 Blanco is a blend of 58% Semillon, 28% Pedro Gimenez and 14% Chenin Blanc, each variety harvested and vinified separately, despite their co-planted nature in an 85-year-old pergola. It wafts from the glass with a detailed and expressive nose of stone fruits, honey and jasmine, followed by a dense, lush mouthfeel and a cleansing, open-knit finish."

"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."

"The 2022 Blanco is an unoaked blend of 52% Sšmillon, 28% Chenin Blanc and 20% Pedro Gimšnez from old parral vineyards in San Carlos on deep soils that provide freshness. It has only 11.5% alcohol and very good freshness and acidity. It's mostly from 80-year-old vines in the Valle de Uco that were harvested early, and the wine matured in concrete for six months. It's a little austere, not aromatic; the Pedro Gimšnez was harvested very early to avoid its terpenic side. They are still looking for what the old timers did with the traditional varieties; they are looking for sapidity. It's clean and sharp, balanced, with the varieties integrated and with a tasty finish. This is ethereal, dry and chalky."
