Cara Sur - Pergolas Criolla Blanca

The Pérgolas Criolla Blanca is produced with a blend of white varieties, including Torrontés Sanjuanino and Mendocino as well as other Criolla varieties from old pergola vines (planted between 1920 – 1970) from multiple tiny family vineyards in Barreal and Hilario on alluvial soils. The highest vineyards here are some 1,600 metres above sea level and are characterised by hot days and very cool nights. The juice is fermented with some skins for 21 days or so, and matured in concrete, wherein the wine develops a flor. The final wine is light in alcohol with high acidity. Very fresh, this is tasty, stony and mineral, with the extra complexity in the mouth care of the flor.
