Cara Sur Criolla 2022 is a wine that encapsulates traditional winemaking practices from Argentina`s Calingasta Valley. This blend predominantly features criolla grape varieties like Cereza, Moscatel Tinto and Canela, sourced from historic pergolas where families gather to harvest grapes. The use of natural yeasts initiates fermentation, while an eight-month maturation on lees contributes to its subtle complexity. The resulting wine presents a light body with soft, round textures and delicate notes of red berries, honouring its peasant wine heritage. Produced by the Casa de Uco, known for their commitment to authenticity and sustainability, this wine reflects a deep reverence for local viticulture.

The 2022 Criolla was produced with Criolla Chica, or Listán Prieto, grapes from three vineyards that fermented and matured separately in 2,000- and 3,000-liter concrete vats for eight months. It`s a pale, aromatic and light red, expressive, clean and floral with a medium-bodied, elegant palate with finesse and an ethereal quality, with some grip from the very fine tannins that also give it a dry, chalky finish. It has moderate alcohol, 13%, and ripeness with very good freshness, acidity and especially balance. 5,700 bottles were filled October 2022. - Luis Gutiérrez
