Production Details Jinete Bajo was a Roussanne Vin de Paille bottled in 375 mL half-bottles. Robert Parker reported a production of 235 cases and stated that it was due for release in spring 2011. The same review reports “8.7 grams of acidity,” but does not specify a per-volume unit or analytical basis, so that observation is not represented as total_acidity_gl.
Tasting Notes Robert Parker (Wine Advocate, August 2010) described honeyed marmalade, beeswax, honeysuckle, crème brûlée and citrus, with freshness and vibrancy balancing the sweetness. Josh Raynolds (Vinous, November 2010) described deep gold color, orange marmalade, apricot nectar, yellow plum, honey, spice, sweet pit and tropical fruit, candied citrus and a lush, creamy texture.
Food Pairing Serve as a dessert on its own.
