Montagave 'Las Rocas' Blanco Review
Inspired by ancient-but-trendy winemaking techniques, this 45-percent ABV blanco employs a 5-ton concrete egg for production, presumably during fermentation, post-distillation aging, or both (it’s not fully clear from informational materials provided by the brand). What is abundant and striking is the clarity of luscious, cooked agave that traverses nose to palate, and this blanco’s undisputed credentials as an exceptional sipping spirit.
