Nose
Predominance of balsamic aromas laced with herbal notes from Provence, black olives, ripe red fruits, and wild-berry jam. Hints of smoke and spices appear from its oak aging.
Palate
Dry, delicate, and smooth mouthfeel. Red fruits with hints of ripe berries and spices. Warm-hearted wine with crispy acidity that provides a good balance. Long lingering finish with round tannins.
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 facilitating water drainage, optimal root development, and ensuring a natural vigor control of strains with a good fruit balance. The grapes sourced from this vineyard deliver wines with good volume, desired alcohol level, intensity, aging potential, and typicity
