Region Description

The grapes for this wine were grown at 1000 meters above sea level in the Famatina Valley of the Andes Mountains, in the province of La Rioja. The winery is located more than 700 miles from Buenos Aires in the heart of the Famatina Valley. The vineyards are nestled in between breathtaking Andean peaks of 13,000 and 20,000 feet above sea level and benefit from a unique microclimate ideal for high quality grape production.

Food Pairings

Serve as an apertif or with smoked meats, fresh seafood and mild to medium-strong cheeses. Not only will it delight your senses, it will put you ahead of the curve as well. Because it is produced in the southern hemisphere where the growing seasons are flip-flopped relative to ours, this 2007 release comes to you much sooner than you’d see it coming to market from any wine region north of the equator.
