Winemaker’s Notes:

This Tempranillo is a great example of why Argentina is so much more than blockbusting Malbecs. It’s more medium bodied and leaner than the nose lets on, giving it a refreshing quality for a big red. It’s also very much in keeping with Alessandro’s ethos of clean wines that stay true to nature.

Christian’s Notes:

On the first sniff, you think you’re smelling a pudding of warm red berries and vanilla ice cream. Intense, yet light. If this wine were a person it would be a gelatista – full of joy and happiness, loved by all.

Ratings and Awards:
