Deep purple color. On the nose, aromas of black fruits, such as black and blueberries, sour cherries, and blackcurrant. Mushroom and undergrowth aromas, with mineral notes reminiscent of graphite and wet stone. Chocolate, cacao, vanilla, tobacco, and leather notes imparted by aging in French oak barrels. Notable structure and ripe tannins in the mouth. Long, complex, and well balanced wine.
In their limestone and biodiverse soils, Tannat adds the mineral notes that are typical of these terroirs to its profile of red and black fruits. The combination of soil and climate results in a rich and pleasant wine in which tannins have matured smoothly. Strong winds in this area naturally limit fruit setting and the number of berries in each bunch. This lets the grapes get enough sun and fully ripen.
Pioneering in the high end wine market comes with great responsibility. Therefore, they decided to conduct a thorough analysis of samples taken on site to define where the vineyard should be planted. To aid in this process, they engaged different external consultants, like Esteban García Bouza and Tomas Hughes. Finally, it was decided that the project would be launched in El Vallecito.
They chose this location because it is surrounded by a mountain range that belongs to the Tandilia System, one of the oldest in the world. This protects their vineyard from the ocean winds that slam against the mountains and batter the vines from all sides. It is both a challenge and a blessing, as it pushes us to use protection barriers but also ensures that vines remain healthy after the rains. On the other hand, the soils in El Vallecito are as old as the mountain range and have many different features, the most noticeable of which is the amount of limestone in them.
