This delicious and intriguing Argentinian red wine has a light fresh style that would appeal to fans of Pinot Noir. A natural cross between Criolla Chica and Muscat d’Alexandria, it’s part of the Criolla family or grapes first introduced to Argentina over 500 years ago. With large berries and thin skins, this wine is light in color but bursting with exotic floral aromas, red berries, and even a hint of Turkish Delight. Its bright acidity complements the juicy flavours of wild raspberry, strawberry and red apple, making it perfect when lightly chilled
Try this with fatty pork belly, spicy foods and robust seafood dishes or tomato based pasta dish.
It's really interesting to discover this other side of Argentinian wine that is such an integral part of the country's winemaking history. This red is light, fresh, and bursting with bright red fruit flavours, making it a great choice for those who love easy-drinking wines with personality.
Mauricio Lorca originally planned to become a doctor, but changed course when he discovered a passion for viticulture and winemaking. He began working his way up at roles with Catena, Luigi Bosca and Finca La Celia and during this time he showed an ability to look beyond the tradition of using oak barrels and see potential in quality of fruit to stand alone. He now makes top-class, unoaked wines at his high-altitude vineyards at Vista Flores in the Uco Valley and Luján de Cuyo. A no-frills operation with the energy and solid work ethic of every employee channeled into getting the job done with efficiency and aplomb.
