Mayu - Pedro Ximenez

In 2020, Vina Mayu crafted this exceptional Pedro Ximenez wine in the Elqui Valley of Chile. Nestled at the foothills of the Andes in northern Chile, the Elqui Valley offers a long growing season with sunny days and cool nights, ideal for cultivating high - quality wine grapes. The name Vina Mayu comes from the Incan term for the Milky Way's'starry river'. Pedro Ximenez grapes are often used in making rich Sherries, but this dry version is delightfully crisp. It bursts with zesty citrus and lime flavors, along with a refreshing river - rock minerality, truly showing the grape's diverse range. It's a perfect match for ceviche or soft, mild cheeses.

To enjoy this Mayu Pedro Ximenez dry white wine, first, chill it in the refrigerator for about 1 - 2 hours until it's at a refreshing temperature. Pour it into a white wine glass to savor its aroma and flavor. You can pair it with ceviche, which enhances the fresh citrus notes, or soft, mild cheeses for a creamy and balanced taste. Keep the wine in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight. Once opened, try to finish it within 2 - 3 days. Just store it in the fridge with a cork or wine stopper to keep it fresh for a bit longer.
