"A creamy yet mineral nose but nothing sweet or spicy here. Wet stone minerality with lucid fruit purity, extending to a textured, nicely saline palate with a medium body. Nervy and full of verve with delicious, gastronomic fruit. Elegant, pure but quintessential flavors. 100% listan blanco. Drink now."

"The nose of the 2021 Finca La Habanera List n Blanco shows more complexity and depth, with the freshness from the higher-altitude vines, and comes through as mineral and vertical, austere but clean and pure, tasty and salty, with notes of flowers. It was bottled unoaked after four months with lees. 2,300 bottles were produced. It was bottled in June 2022."
