Nose
Complex and expressive with aromas of black cherries, ripe plums, spices, thyme, black olives, leather and moist earth. Hints of smoke and cedar appear from its oak aging.
Palate
Flavorful Syrah, with a good body and character. Intense, balanced acidity, and juicy tannins in the mid-palate. Long and complex finish with a spicy and 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 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
