Llano Colorado Lágrimas San Vicente Verdejo 2022
The 2022 Llano Colorado Lágrimas San Vicente Verdejo is a vibrant and expressive white wine that captures the unique high-altitude character of its terroir. Crafted from 100% Verdejo grapes, this vintage showcases a beautiful balance between crisp acidity and a rich, silken texture. It is an excellent choice for those who appreciate a refreshing yet complex white wine that stands out for its mineral depth and aromatic intensity.
Origin and Terroir
Region: San Vicente, Baja California, Mexico Vineyard: Llano Colorado Climate: The San Vicente Valley is characterized by its proximity to the Pacific Ocean, providing cool maritime breezes that moderate the warm daytime temperatures. This ensures a long ripening season, allowing the Verdejo grapes to develop concentrated flavors while maintaining essential natural acidity. Soil: Predominantly granitic and sandy soils, which contribute a distinct flinty minerality to the finished wine.
Tasting Notes
- Appearance: A brilliant, pale straw yellow with shimmering greenish reflections.
- Aroma: The nose is highly aromatic and fresh. It opens with bright notes of Meyer lemon, lime zest, and green apple. As it breathes, more complex layers emerge, including white peach, orange blossom, and a signature herbaceous hint of dried fennel and cut grass.
- Palate: On the entry, the wine is lively and crisp. The citrus-driven acidity is immediately apparent, leading into a mid-palate that offers a surprising roundness. Flavors of stone fruit and grapefruit pith are complemented by a salty, saline minerality.
- Finish: Clean and persistent, leaving a lingering impression of citrus peel and a touch of almond bitterness, characteristic of the Verdejo variety.
Serving Suggestions
- Temperature: Serve well-chilled between 7°C and 10°C.
- Food Pairing: This wine pairs exceptionally well with fresh seafood, such as fish tacos, ceviche, or grilled prawns. It also complements Mediterranean-inspired dishes like roasted chicken with herbs, goat cheese salads, or light pasta primavera.

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.
