Awards/Ratings
Reported high scores for the Miramar Riesling (2021/near vintages): Decanter panel tasting and listings (noted as top-rated), Tim Atkin ~94, Vinous ~92, James Suckling ~91 (sources report these scores for Miramar vintages)

Tasting Note
Crisp, dry Riesling with bright lime and green pear, jasmine and sea-spray minerality, faint petrol/kerosene notes, and a touch of caramelised apricot. Vibrant acidity and a long, saline finish.

Food Pairing
Western: oysters, ceviche, grilled salmon, goat cheese, citrus salads. Asian: sushi and sashimi, tempura, Thai green curry, spicy Sichuan dishes.

Production Method
Hand-harvested fruit from Miramar; fermented in stainless steel, unoaked, often aged briefly on fine lees to add texture. Preserves pure varietal and coastal minerality.

Vineyard Info
Boutique coastal estate founded by María Luz Marín (c.2000). Focus on cool-climate, terroir-driven whites from Lo Abarca/Miramar; now run by the Marín family with Felipe Marín as winemaker.
