Description
Mendoza, Argentina
Another exceptional offering from Maria Eugenia Baigorria and Sergio Jimenez from their alluvial vineyards in the top area of Mendoza Lujan de Cuyo. Hand picked as is all the fruit at this classy estate, the grapes undergo a second hand selection when they reach the winery to ensure only the finest fruit makes it into the blend. It’s then given a 2 or 3 day cold soak to extract great colour and fruit flavour before the cool temperature vinification which takes around three weeks. After the malolactic fermentation the wine is aged for 7 months in French and American oak barrels.
Tasting Notes: Intensely coloured still showing youth with some notes of violet. The nose is typical of red fruits such as plums and cherries with hints of vanilla behind from the oak maturation. Full bodied and round with ripe and sweet tannins to back the luscious fruit flavours.
Food pairing suggestions: Just the thing for a good steak.
