100% Criolla Chica from Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza, Argentina.
Organic and Vegan.
Hector and Pablo Durigutti were born in the Mendoza and grew up immersed in the flavors, aromatics, and bustle of the wine making process. It’s no surprise that they both became enologists and started their own small family winery devoted to Malbec. As their winery and reputation grew they began experimenting with reviving historic varietals such as Criolla Chica, a varietal that predates Malbec’s arrival.
Criolla Chica, AKA Mission, is grown at a small plot of vines going back to 1943. The production is small- 295 cases- but this little known varietal makes for a very delicious and contemporary Glou Glou style wine!
Super elegant, floral and spicy, the wine is rich in tart cherry and strawberry flavors with a peppery spice and thirst quenching acidity.
