Tasting Notes

It shines with a pale hue and greenish reflections. On the nose, it reveals fresh-cut pear, apple, and soft echoes of dried stone fruit. On the palate, it is enveloping, silky, with vibrant acidity and a voluminous finish, marked by an intense, fruity aftertaste, with delicate salinity and herbaceous freshness. 

Pairing

It gracefully accompanies grilled shellfish, light rice dishes, fatty fish, vegetable preparations, and mild cheeses. Its freshness and round texture are ideal for light dishes with a maritime warmth.

El Lechinar 2021 is a sincere song to its land, a reinvented Pedro Ximénez that combines tradition and life under the "almen morillero" veil.
