$29.99 USD
Red cherry and strawberry fruit aromas. As it opens up, a little black fruit combined with a spicy character of black pepper and cinnamon. Medium acidity with horizontal mouth. Villa Bastias is located in Tupungato within the Uco Valley. The vineyard is old and planted with Dijon Clones in 1993. The Grand Mère parcel gets more sun than the Grand Pere block, with generous and silky tannins. Winemaking is traditional and gentle for these delicate wines. Yields are extrememly low in both sites due to the age of the vineyard.

"Aromas of dried berries, currants, dried lemon zest, nutmeg, tobacco and earth. Cherries, too. It’s medium-to full-bodied with firm, tight-grained tannins and fresh acidity. Intensely flavorful with plenty of dark spice and a juicy finish. Beautiful, linear and bright character. Drink or hold."

Robert Parker The Wine Advocate

"I find beautiful aromatics in the 2019 Grand Mère Pinot Noir, a single-vineyard Pinot Noir from vines planted at 1,120 meters in altitude in Tupungato. All wines are delicate and perfumed, produced in a very careful way and aged in used barrels to avoid interferences with oak. This is truly impressive and floral with citrus freshness, a classic and elegant Pinot Noir, with red fruit, such as cherry and strawberry, aromas, grainy tannins and natural acidity. The name honors Laura Catena's grandmother."
