  • This wine has an intense red and blue colour. It has notes of red and black fruits, and its balance with some spices makes it complex and delicate. In the mouth is persistent and pleasant, with an excellent elegance. We can pair this wine with different types of food or enjoy it alone. With both structure and finesse in equal measures, this flagship blend combines plum and cherry fruit with violets, fresh herbs, and smoky, spicy notes. The medium to full palate shows appealingly juicy fruit alongside plush tannins and a touch of bitter chocolate on the finish.

Winery

Pulenta Estate was founded in 2002 by brothers Hugo and Eduardo Pulenta, fourth-generation winemakers, to translate their family legacy and their father’s pioneering spirit 
into a modern, innovative winery that produces limited quantities of great wines. They have quickly carved out a reputation for precise, elegant wines across a range of varieties and premium price points. The estate consists of two vineyards in key areas of Mendoza: Finca La Zulema in Agrelo and Viñedos Don Antonio in Los Arboles, a district of the Uco Valley. These contrasting vineyards have complex alluvial soils and distinct altitudes that help give Pulenta wines their distinctive style when blended.
 The signature style of Pulenta is built on finesse, silky texture and elegant fruit character while displaying the typical power and depth of fruit expected of Argentinian wines. Their range features youthful wines under the Bodega La Flor label, bottled and released after 3 months in oak. The estate reds see 12 months in new French oak and 12 months ageing in the bottle before release. The ‘Gran’ wines are at the top of the range, and the pinnacle is the Gran Corte, an impressive blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Merlot, Petit Verdot, and Tannat.
