Shy Smile

Starring Palo Cortado

On the first sip, Shy Smile ignites all parts of the palate with a sweet, savory, citrus, and spice combination that leaves even the most experiences drinker wanting more.

Pairing Palo Cortado with food

"Meditation wine," ideal to be slowly appreciated, to become totally immersed in the full range of well balanced sensations this exceptional wine has to offer. It may accompany nuts, cured cheeses and, at the table, the more concentrated consommés, stews and gelatinous meats (bull's tail, cheeks...)
