New, unique, fresh.
From Patagonia's Familia Schroder, Alpataco's name is derived from the native thorny bush that prospers in Argentina's south.
It opens with a funky nose of wet paper then morphs into beet green and carrot tops, sweet spices and tangy red cherry, concord grapes and violets and a whiff of menthol. It is juicy with strong herbal flavours layered with sweet high-toned red fruit, leather and spice. Slick and elegant the finish is fresh and persistent; it saw zero oak.
Available in BCLS April 2021.
