Tasting Notes

A highly expressive red wine:

• Color: Violet tinges with a medium-high robe.
• Aromas: Predominantly red fruits like cherry and raspberry, with subtle hints of vanilla from French oak.
• Flavor: Fresh and round on the palate, light yet persistent with a pleasant aftertaste.

Elaboration

• Fermentation: Traditional winemaking in concrete tanks.
• Aging: Aged in 500-liter French oak barrels to minimize wood influence and preserve the grape’s natural aromas.

Territory

Sierra Perra is a harsh, arid region with cracked soil where vines struggle to thrive:

• Climate: The intense sun dominates during the day, while the shade of the sierra provides relief in the late afternoon.
• Soil: Compact and dry, challenging vine roots to penetrate deeply, resulting in concentrated, aromatic fruit.

This challenging environment forces the vines to adapt and thrive, producing berries that are rich in flavor and aroma, truly reflecting the "fruit of the vine’s endeavor."
