Batch OE2 Tech Sheet
OE2 is the latest batch of Espadín from Onofre. This one will be the first batch of Espadín available in the United States, and will be appearing the UK later this year.
Like OE1, there are prominent notes of rosemary and thyme with honeysuckle sweetness and wafts of campfire smoke. This one was produced in the colder months and so is bigger on the high notes with citrus, grape, and stone fruits present. It's sensational in our Signature Martini.
