It is very interesting to see the development of this wine in the bottle. I remember buying it about 4 years ago and I was not sure when picking it up from the wine fridge. The bodega is situated in the foothills of the Andes in the Cafayate region around Salta in Northwest Argentina in one of the most scenic regions of this country. The vineyards are planted at 1,700 metres making them the highest commercial sites in the world. Cool climate plays a key part with great variations between night and day time temperatures, slowing down the ripening cycle making it very fresh even after 5 years on bottle. The amazing is the acidity, which is for the age very high and also single piece of cork helped to preserve it.
