Description
In a nutshell:
A refreshing, crunchy Argentinian red from the far northern region of Salta.
The lowdown:
Vallisto are based in the northern, high altitude Salta region of Argentina and make some very interesting wines from the unique soils and climate of the area. This is made from the Criolla Chica grape variety which has been growing in Argentina since missionary settlers frist arrivd here in the 16th century. It's know by different names in different countries and it's as 'Pais' in Chile that it's more widely known. The vineyards for this were first planted in 1898 at are at 2600m above sea level. It's all hand-picked and sorted and no oak used in its maturation. Its pinkish skins give it a quite pale colour but despite it's light appearance it packs a lively punch. The nose has got some charming florality and a subtle whiff of Turkish delight while on the palate there's a blast of red cherry and pomegranate flavours. There's a good bite of tannin and a real freshness on the bright, zippy finish.
When to drink:
With its crisp, lively fruitiness it's perfect drunk slightly chilled with barbecues.
