Rey Perico Pet Nat Blanco

A Los Viñateros Bravos · Itata, Chile

Delicate floral scents of jasmine and orange blossom, accompanied by the enticing fragrance of ripe peaches and juicy apricots. Crisp flavors of white grapes and citrus fruits dominate, with notes of lemon and tangerine shining through. There is a pleasant minerality and zesty acidity, signature of the granitic soil, that lingers, leaving a clean and invigorating sensation.
