Andeluna produces premium mountain wines from their 70-hectare vineyard situated at an elevation of 1,300 meters in the rocky terroir of Gualtallary, Tupungato, in the Uco Valley, Mendoza." A refined and perfumed wine showing a lovely combination of coffee beans, capsicum and notes of graphite and fennel with a full, long herbal finish.

The grapes were hand-picked at the cool of dawn in April when they had reached full polyphenolic maturity. The berries were manually selected, and the best berries underwent cold pre-fermentation maceration. Fermentation occurred with natural yeasts in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures of 26°C. The wine was aged in used French oak barrels ( 60% first passage, 40% second passage) for 12 months and then cellared in a bottle for a minimum of eight months before release.
Intense aromas fill the glass with deep red fruits and a remarkable presence of red bell pepper, fennel, mint, anise, eucalyptus, and basil. This structured, full-bodied wine's rounded tannins result in a pleasant and persistent finish.

| Winery | The grapes are grown in Gualtallary, Tupungato, in the Uco Valley, at 1,300 meters above sea level. At this altitude, the diurnal temperature difference between warm days and cool nights creates a long hang time, concentrating the flavours in the berries while retaining balancing acidity. The vines are irrigated by a drip-water system that regulates and supplies the exact amount of water that the plant needs. The vineyard soils are alluvial, sandy, and permeable. |
