This classic regional Guatemalan blend is properly taken care by the local Mayans. Its usual character is the citrus peel and bitter almond but now the introduction of pre-drainage step and gradual pre-drying elevated the red fruit potential with sweet sour redcurrant being the front flavour. As chocolate, the tart red fruit note also predominates in OX EEK giving complexity with mineral wine acidity and floral hints.
