“From Gualtallary, Uco Valley, the 2019 Pinot Noir Histoire d’A was 20% fermented in whole bunches and spent 18 months in 1/3 new barrels. Light, refined garnet in hue. The complex nose is shaped by the variety and the aging process, offering notes of rose, sour cherry and damp earth alongside cinnamon and nutmeg. Intense in flavor, the palate is expansive but also finely grained and precise. An acidity lends vigor and lightness without affecting the silky, velvety feel. Ends with a lengthy finish in which the fruit takes charge, helped by the freshness.”

“Every bit as good as some of the more famous Argentinian Pinot Noirs produced in Patagonia, this is a world-class red from a limestone-rich parcel located at 1,350 metres and planted with clone 115. Fermented with 20% whole clusters, it’s a very assured wine from Roy Urvieta, with savoury tannins, fine oak and a core of pomegranate and wild strawberry fruit.”
