TASTING NOTE: Single-vineyard wines, such as this one, are one of the most exciting elements of the continuing evolution of Argentine winemaking as producers seek ever-more precise expressions of their terroir. This was sourced from the Las Palmas vineyard situated at 850 metres above sea level. It's lush and ripe with forward red berry, vanilla and woodspice tones. Balanced and structured, it will be great with lamb dishes. (VINTAGES panel, April 2016) |
