2023 El Montañista Corte de Tintas, Calingasta Valley, Argentina
$24.99
Criolla Chica (aka Listán Prieto or País), Criolla Grande, Cereza, Canela, and Moscatel Tinto from the 80-year-old Paraje Hilario 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.
