The Ensamble uses Papalote (A. cupreata) as a base and is complemented by Espadín (A. angustifolia) and Tobalá (A. potatorum); This MONTELOBOS® expression offers an explosion of contrasting flavors such as pink pepper, chamomile and candied apple. It has a body and an acidity in the mouth that highlights smoke and fruit.
