Potrero Reserva Pinot Noir 2021

Potrero Reserva is a 100% Pinot Noir from a very special terroir, that of Gualtallary, in the heart of Argentina. We are in the Mendoza region, and Gualtallary is an area where temperatures average lower than in the rest of the region. This results in a beneficial temperature range between day and night that positively affects the physiology of the plant. The grapes harvested here give very concentrated wines while maintaining natural levels of acidity and good fruit. This Pinot Noir, in particular, comes from careful cellar processing involving traditional fermentation in stainless steel tanks, with a percentage of whole clusters and the use of only indigenous yeasts. For the maturation phase, after vinification is complete, the wine is placed in second- and third-passage French oak barrels, where it rests for no less than six months. Described as a sensual and elegant wine, on the nose it is easy to discern the typical notes of the grape variety, with small fresh red fruits in good evidence. In the mouth it is well balanced, with a long, delicately spiced finish.
