5 Sentidos, "Espadín, Cuixe, Madrecuixe" 2021

This is the first ever batch produced by Roberto "Beto" Sanchez, native of La Chaga, Oaxaca and long-time friend and collaborator of Eduardo "Lalo" Perez of El Nanche. For his first ensamble of rougly equal parts Espadín (a. Angustifolia), Cuixe (a. Karwinskii), & Madrecuixe (a. Karwinskii).
