Palate
Soft mouthfeel with herbal notes. Medium-bodied with round and velvety tannins. Fine-length finish and balsamic 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 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
