Winemaker's Notes
Volador is the first wine produced each vintage. This wine is characterized by its freshness and intensity of fruit, especially red fruits such as strawberries and cherries. Floral, licorice and pepper notes complements its aromatic range. It is a round, pleasant, persistent, delicate and and pure wine, and with very good acidity that makes us salivate and want to take another sip.
