Description
Mendoza is one of the greatest wine regions of the world. Wide open spaces with nothing but vines, mountain grandeur and blue skies. The premium grapes selected for Agua de Piedra are from old yielding vineyards on glacial deposit soils. All the vineyards were single trellised and naturally farmed under ideal conditions. The estate and vineyards are located in Alto Agrelo, Luján de Cuyo, which is set in the foothills of the great Andes Mountains, Mendoza’s top region for production of fine wines. The vineyards expand over 180 acres at 3,500 feet above sea level and are carefully tended to by a dedicated staff of lifelong farmers with a passion for Malbec. The result is balanced, complex, artisanal wines, made with pride and care, and truly representing the beloved Mendoza terroir. Agua de Piedra always represents the pure essence of Mendoza’s wine country.
Terroir
The grapes were selected from old low yielding vineyards on glacial deposit soils. All the vineyards were single trellised. The grapes were cool macerated in order to retain fruit characters and color. They were
then fermented for two weeks and then the wine was left on skins for another two weeks. The finished wine was racked in oak barrels for six months.
Tasting Notes
Food-friendly and downright yummy this is a complex wine with lots of layers and notes of earth, leather, red fruit with tones of chocolate and prune. The palate is soft and lush with lingering black cherries, raspberries and spice leading to a long finish.Pairs well with grilled meats, medium to strong cheese or simply on its own.
