Tasting note
Bright violet red color with a depth and intensity typical of the variety. Aromas of fresh plums and spicy notes that combine with the presence of vanilla and toast which is contributed by its aging in barrel. On the palate it is a wine that highlights its weight, structure and balanced full flavor, with a great persistent finish.
Viticulture
Certified sustainable, Humberto Canale is an authentic family winery in General Roca, Patagonia, operating since 1914. Its cooler climate allows slow ripening, yielding complex, elegant wines with great acidity. Hand-harvested from late March to early April at the 1969 Finca Los Borregos estate, grapes travel just 1km to the winery.
Vinification
Grapes are hand-selected, destemmed, and cold-macerated for 48–72 hours. Alcoholic fermentation occurs at 25°C in 9,000l cement vats for 15 days with periodic pump overs. Following malolactic fermentation, the wine ages for 12 months in new French and American oak barrels, then bottles and matures for an additional 6 months before market release.
Food Match
Grilled red meats, Brie or goat cheeses, or even fish with intense flavours accompanied by spicy sauces.
