Convite Mezcal, Espadin Madrecuishe Blend, Joven, Mexico (42%)

Description

To let the agave varieties express themselves, the team at Convite use ambient yeast and no additives in their production. This Joven style is a 50-50 blend of Espadín and the wild Madrecuishe varieties. There’s a serious, smoky dried herb punch to the nose, not unlike good peated Islay whiskies. Earthiness and camphor on the palate are lifted by sweet lemon oil and a minty freshness. The finish is cigar and spice, making this an easy crossover point for whisky fans.

About this spirit

Chateau Cantemerle

Ch. Cantemerle's woodland setting is amongst the most beautiful of any château in the Médoc. It is located in the far south of the region, almost on the outskirts of the city of Bordeaux. It is the first major property on the Médoc Route des Châteaux, north of Bordeaux. Cantemerle has 94 hectares of vineyards, planted with Cabernet Sauvignon (60%), Merlot (30%), Cabernet Franc (6%) and Petit Verdot (4%). The wines are made under the guidance of consultant oenologist, Eric Boissenot, undergoing 12 months' ageing in French oak, of which 40% is new. Cantemerle is a Cinquième Cru Classé, with approximately 400,000 bottles produced each year and a further 160,000 bottles of the property’s second wine, Les Allées de Cantemerle.
