Fortaleza Blanco Review
Fortaleza Blanco delivers from start to finish. The nose starts spicy and slightly mentholated, before floral notes and underripe stone fruits add nuance. The palate us well-rounded and full-bodied, with a tingling spice leading a lengthy finish. This blanco begs (and deserves) to be sipped neat.
