Zerberos Finca Aragon Fino 2020

Tasting: From Sierra de Gredos natural wine maestro Daniel V. Ramos, a self-described ‘Span-Aussie’ (born in Australia to Spanish parents, then grew up in Madrid).

A silky palate redolent of blueberries and violets rounds out this delicious wine, minimal sulphur is used for bottling only and the wine is un-fined and unfiltered.
