Olegario Falcon, whose father worked on the business side of wine, purchased his family’s vineyard in 1980. Close to the sea in Salnes, the Falcones vines now average 30 years of age, providing this sophisticated coastal white, both fresh and deeply flavorful. It tastes like orange zest, the richness of lobster and cream, the gentle rain of a sun shower at the beach. Clean, precise and elegant, this is a wine to buy by the case.

Chunky aromas of white fruits and brine set up a tight, lemony palate that's minerally. Apple and lemon flavors are mildly bitter prior to a lasting finish that's firm and stony but holds onto that note of bitterness.
