Nose
Expressive and spicy. Fresh red fruit aromas of plum and blueberry combined with notes of spices and peppers. The nose is complemented by smoky aromas from its oak aging.
Palate
A juicy red wine complemented by spicy and herbaceous flavors such as thyme. Dry, fresh, and juicy in the attack. Broad, with very good texture and excellent balance. Its marked tannins lead to a pleasant and long-lasting finish with a fruity aftertaste.
Growing Conditions
Our Agrelo vineyard sits in a low area of Luján de Cuyo. The winds that descend from the Andes Mountains favor a cool climate and great thermal amplitude due to a hill located in the eastern region that cages such winds. This vineyard has homogeneous sandy-loam soils that allow for a good water-holding capacity.
