<p>Criolla Chica (aka Listán Prieto or País), Criolla Grande, Cereza, Canela, and Moscatel Tinto from the 80-year-old <em>Paraje Hilario</em> vineyard, planted on quartz rich colluvial rocks at 1500m in the foothills of the Andes mountains. The grapes were hand harvested and the Criolla Chica was left whole cluster, while 70-75% of the grapes of the other were destemmed. All were crushed by foot and macerated on their skins for the duration of fermentation in concrete vessels without temperature control, before a gentle pressing with a 200kg vertical screw press and seven months of resting in concrete before bottling. </p><p>-From the importer</p><p>Savory, juicy and fresh</p>
