Elegant, floral and spicy, with rose petal and summer pudding flavours, graceful tannins and fine-grained tannis.
Obtained from the pergola trained vines of Don Carlos de Danielle, which date back to 1943, these vines recover the essence in the wine destined to be enjoyed by the locals of the region. With a focus to conserve the varietal expression and place of origin, these wines have been fermented in concrete eggs with native yeasts. Organic vineyard management with cover crops, conduction system in “H”, irrigation by flood.
Their Projectas Las Compuertas, consists of seven wines: Criolla, Cordisco, Charbono (Bonarda), Cabernet Franc, two Malbecs and a blend that pays homage to their mother Victoria (Malbec, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Cordisco). The vines are planted at 1,050m above sea level and farmed with organic practices. The Criolla vines were planted in 1943. All of the PLC wines are fermented with indigenous yeasts, the single varietals in concrete eggs. For the Criolla, the grape skins are removed halfway through the fermentation process, resulting in a refreshing, light style of red. Its super crunchy and fresh with ripe cherry and a slight sour cherry twist, best served cool.
