About This Wine:
Produced by one of the first four wineries in San Patricio del Chanar, Neuquen, Argentina Patagonia. Pioneered the wine styles that have made the region famous.
Located in one of the famous worlds' most remote wine regions, at 39 degrees South, ancient roads of dust and stone cross the arid landscape as testament of man's ability to interact in harmony with nature. This wine is made by a 100% Argentine winemaking team, led by legendary Argentine winemaker, Roberto de la Mota.
What Does It Taste Like?
Made from 100% Malbec. The estate-grown grapes are manually harvested, carefully sorted, and destemmed. The wine undergoes traditional maceration for 21 days with selected yeasts. Cholila Ranch Malbec is aged both in American and French oak for 9 months, followed by a minimum of 6 months bottle aging prior to release. Deep purple color. Aromas of rip plum and mulberry with violet hints. Ripe black fruits and fig on the palate with touches of smoke and vanilla. A truly powerful yet balanced wine with a persistent finish.
Ratings & Reviews
Focus on ArgentinaBy Stephen Tanzer of International Wine Cellar
"My
tastings of new releases from Argentina turned up a higher percentage
of well-made wines than ever before, thanks in part to an extended run
of very good to excellent vintages. My annual coverage features a
generous selection of stunning values in the under-$20 range, as well as
a growing number of world-class higher-priced items. In addition to
malbec, cabernet sauvignon and torrontes stood out in my tastings this
year."
