- About Wilfrido Garcia Sanchez: Wilfrido García Sanchez, was born in 1989 and stepped into his grandfather’s palenque as a teenager to make his first batch in 2004. Risking everything, Wili and his brother Ramón left shortly after accompanying Elvia, their older sister. They saved money from their time working in chicken processing plants and other gigs in the Southern United States, and boys returned home as young men ready to work the agave that their mother, Margarita, had been planting in their absence. Waiting for them, as well, were participatory rolls in the cooperative Grupo Productor Logoche, founded in 2008 by their mother, uncles, and neighbors.
- T8ke's Tasting Notes: Bright acidity meets strawberry, apricot, honey, lime and lemon. There's a brief moment of beefy minerality, slate, a hint of salinity that gives way to beautiful, rich, fruitiness and layered sweetness. The palate pops, there's a faint char and spice with the signature bell pepper and a hint of jalapeno from the bicuixe coming in to meld with the crisp and fun fruits of the Jabali. Gorgeous finish, complex, well rounded, fruits, slate-y, mineral driven with a hint of citrus and salinity.
