Supple Merlot, floral Malbec fresher than in Mendoza, crisp Sémillon. Chiselled style.
The wine region of Patagonia
Argentina's wine frontier, cool continental climate at low altitude (~200 m), strong natural acidity. Signature Pinot Noir, now a regional emblem: fine, silky reds with signature notes of tart cherry, raspberry, wild strawberry, undergrowth, violet and sweet spices, delicate tannins and taut freshness — a southern Burgundian style. Also Malbec fresher than in the north, round Merlot. Taut Sémillon, Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Riesling whites.
The word of the wine: Bleeding
Old practice for red wines. As soon as the vat is filled with grapes, the tap is opened. A sweet but clear juice escapes from the vat (it can also be used to make rosé). The colour and density of the juice is enhanced, but it should not be overdone. Rarely more than 10% of the volume of a vat, otherwise you risk losing fruit and bringing in bitterness.
