Description

  • 100 Points James Suckling
  • 98pts - Robert Parker The Wine Advocate

A refined and expressive red blend that offers a compelling interplay of fruit and earth. Aromas of wild raspberry, blackcurrant, graphite, and fresh herbs lead into a vibrant palate. Notes of crushed red berries, violet, and chalky minerality unfold with precision, supported by fine-grained tannins and a long, layered finish. ·

Food Pairing
This wine pairs beautifully with grilled lamb, mushroom risotto, duck breast, or aged cheeses. Its acidity and structure also complement roasted root vegetables, making it a versatile partner for both meat and plant-based dishes.

Vineyard & Vinification Details
Crafted by renowned winemaker Alejandro Vigil, this exceptional wine originates from a high-altitude vineyard in Gualtallary, Tupungato, Mendoza—soaring at 4,822 feet (1,470 meters) above sea level. The site is densely planted with 10,000 vines per hectare, optimizing grape concentration and expression.

Soil Composition Cabernet Franc:
Grown in calcareous, rocky soils, ideal for structure and mineral tension. Malbec: Cultivated in deep-calcareous, rocky soils, enhancing depth, elegance, and complexity.

Vinification Process Fermentation:
Barrel-fermented at an average of 23°C (73.4°F) Cold Maceration: 4 days Total Maceration Time: Approximately 26 days Whole Bunch Inclusion: 40% Harvest Strategy: Five distinct harvests spanning 1.5 months, optimizing ripeness and nuance Oak Regimen: Fermented and aged in French oak barrels (2nd and 3rd use) Aging Matured for 15 months in 100-year-old foudre, allowing gentle micro-oxygenation without overwhelming the fruit.
