Buying options
Tasting Notes
The first vintage of Selección de Parcelas, with the very first fruit from the Baettig vines, and never released. The 2016 is showing some beautiful development, with honey, sweeter plump peach and nutty complexity. Cooked apple and dried mango sit alongside a zing of limey citrus, with a line of bright acidity that runs through the palate and brings lovely energy. Gorgeous. Aged for 16 months in only used oak. Production: 2,160 bottles

Complex but still fresh with some toast and honey, as well as ripe lemon and melon fruit with some orange peel character and a touch of hazelnut. Lovely depth and intensity here with nice bright acidity on the finish. This is evolving in nice ways.
