Description

DV Catena Garnacha Apelación Lunlunta 2023 is a refined interpretation of a variety still uncommon in Argentina. Sourced from a historic vineyard planted in 1932 in Lunlunta, an area with a moderate climate and deep alluvial soils featuring oval stones, this wine authentically expresses the character of the Mendoza terroir.

"Bright ruby-red in color, it unfolds delicate aromas of fresh red fruits such as cherries and raspberries, combined with floral notes, gentle spices, and a mineral undertone. On the palate, it is juicy, with silky tannins, balanced acidity, and a persistent finish that highlights its freshness and natural elegance."
