Night Turnover 2021

When night begins to fall, Mendoza comes alive with music and dancing. There, Malbec is king and we never get tired of it. The Turno de Noche vintage captures the energy and dynamism of this welcoming city. This vintage comes from low-yielding vineyards in the Agrelo region of Mendoza . This is a Malbec for purists. The altitude of over 1000 meters allows Malbec to ripen slowly and preserve the seductive aromas of the grape. This wine is made with respect for the fruit using gentle extraction techniques. It will simply be aged for 6 months in stainless steel vats to preserve the freshness of the aromas. When the raw material is excellent, it is much easier to make a quality wine. The wine reveals aromas of freshly picked blueberries , blackberries , violets , cherries , chocolate and roasted vanilla . The palate is juicy and balanced. The tannins are silky and delicate and the finish is persistent and fruity.

Although Argentina is considered the "new world", its wine tradition is much older than one might think, dating back to the time of Spanish colonization, in the 16th century and then by Italian settlers. Unlike Chile, wine has long been part of the country's culture. No wine-producing country in the world has made more progress in the last years of the 20th century (on the viticultural and oenological level and necessarily financially) which has allowed the country's wine producers to increase quality levels and have succeeded in consolidating an international export market. Argentina has now become the fifth largest wine producing country in the world, after France, Italy, Spain and the United States. Viticulture is practiced mainly in the foothills of the Andes, and more particularly in Mendoza, where the desert landscapes and high altitudes combine to give rise to aromatic and intensely perfumed wines. Some vineyards can even be planted up to 3000 meters above sea level! The terroir here is well suited to the grape variety adopted by Argentina: the omnipresent Malbec. Originally from Bordeaux, he is today responsible for some of the most famous Argentinian wines, which are characterized by their brightness and intensity, with floral notes and dark fruit flavors. Other red varieties produced in Argentina are Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Bonarda, Syrah, Tempranillo and Pinot Noir. Among white wines, the emblematic grape variety of the Argentine wine region is Torrontés, which gives a wine with a floral and tropical taste. The country also produces Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Grigio. Today, Argentinian wines are recognized throughout the world for their full-bodied reds and as high-quality wines.
