"Salmonidos" is a play on words that come from the concept of an actual Salmon swimming upstream, against the current, much like the Valenzuelas for making wine "against the currents" of the region as well. Allegedly what a local inspector called them, and with the color of the Rosé, Salmonido made a great name for this special cuvée.
