This 2023 blend from Abrepuertas Místico captures the vibrant essence of high-altitude viticulture.

It is a refreshing, crisp selection designed for immediate enjoyment.
Tasting Notes
- Appearance: Bright straw yellow with pale green highlights and excellent clarity.
- Nose: An inviting bouquet led by citrus zest and green apple. Secondary notes of white peach and a delicate hint of honeysuckle emerge as the wine breathes, rounded out by a subtle mineral undertone.
- Palate: The entry is crisp and lively. The Sauvignon Blanc provides a zesty acidity and flavors of grapefruit and lemongrass, while the Chenin Blanc adds a smooth, slightly honeyed texture and weight to the mid-palate.
- Finish: Clean and lingering, with a final pop of lime and a touch of saline minerality that invites another sip.
Food Pairing Suggestions
This versatile white blend pairs exceptionally well with a variety of fresh dishes:
- Seafood: Grilled white fish with lemon and herbs, or chilled shrimp ceviche.
- Salads: A classic Caesar salad or a garden salad featuring goat cheese and toasted walnuts.
- Light Fare: Vegetable tempura, fresh spring rolls, or a simple plate of hummus and olives.

What is the difference between Tequila & Mezcal?
Tequila is a type of mezcal, much like how scotch and bourbon are types of whiskey.
Tequila and mezcal are both types of agave-based spirits that are popular in Mexico, but there are some key differences between the two. Tequila is made exclusively from the blue agave plant, which is primarily grown in the area surrounding the city of Tequila, about 40 miles northwest of Guadalajara. Mezcal, on the other hand, can be made from any type of agave plant, and is often made using traditional, labor-intensive methods.
One of the most noticeable differences between tequila and mezcal is their flavor. Tequila is typically smooth and subtle, with hints of fruit and spices, while mezcal has a more complex, smoky flavor that comes from the roasting of the agave hearts before they are fermented and distilled.
Another difference between the two spirits is their production process. Tequila is typically made using modern industrial methods, while mezcal is often produced using traditional techniques that have been passed down for generations. This can give mezcal a more authentic, artisanal character.
In general, tequila is considered to be a more refined and sophisticated spirit, while mezcal is often viewed as a more rustic and traditional drink. Both are popular in Mexico and are enjoyed around the world, so the best way to decide which one you like is to try them both and see which one suits your tastes.
