Product Description:

"The grapes of this wine come from Valentin Bianchi’s Doña Elsa Estate, situated in Rama Caída, San Rafael, Mendoza, around 750 meters above sea level. One of the coolest areas in San Raphael, the soil in Rama Caída is of sandy calcareous composition and alluvial origins. Hand-picked and hand-sorted, the crushed grapes are fermented at controlled temperatures not exceeding 28°C and inoculated with selected yeasts. Periodic pumping over is conducted, with five days’ total maceration. There is minimal French oak aging (inner staves, medium-toast) over a three month period. Natural stabilization and maturation takes place in stainless steel tanks just prior to bottling under inert gas to preserve the wine’s character. The wine ages further in bottle for one month." -Importer
