| Description: | James Suckling 92 Points - "a pretty nose of blackberries, blueberry pie, chocolate orange and sweet spices. Medium-to full-bodied with creamy tannins. Chalky, with a juicy and fruity yet focused finish. Vegan.". Finca el Origen is located in Vista Flores, at 3,900 feet above sea level, with soils of alluvial origin (deposited by water), deep and permeable, filled with pebble stone and sand, which allows the vine to grow with a perfect natural balance. Due to the high altitude, the vines receive a lot of sun exposure which, along with a continental desert climate with wide temperature variations from day to night, contributes to the development of grapes with thick skins, rendering concentrated wines with very deep colors and explosive floral aromas. The Uco Valley is located at the foothills of the Andes mountain range. Millions of years ago, some parts of the mountain range were submerged under the sea, which explains the presence of sea fossils like the ammonite, which is depicted in the winery's logo. Winemaker Notes - "The intense violet color makes it a worthy representative of the wines from Los Chacayes. A wine of distinct aromatic complexity, with outstanding notes of red fruits, floral aromas of violets, vanilla and cigar. The mouth confirms the presence of black fruits like blackberries and spices. The medium structure and silky tannins are perfectly balanced with the delicious natural acidity, leading to a prolonged finish." |
