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: Reassembly
During the vinification process, a "cap" is formed at the top of the vats with the solid parts (skin, pulp, pips, etc.), which contain tannins and colouring elements. Pumping over consists of emptying the vat from the bottom and pouring the juice back to the top, in order to mix the cap and the juice and to favour the exchange and the extraction. This old technique allows a better exchange between the solid parts and the liquid.
