Sapo de Otro Pozo Blend de Tintas 750 ML

His presence imposes any place he enters. Though not always welcomed, he will never be unnoticed. His adrenaline is the risk, the key. Sapo de Otro Pozo, the Argentinean way of saying “fish out of the water”.

Hand –harvested grapes from each terroir at different dates to find the ideal ripeness and expression. Each component is fermented using different vessels: concrete egg-shaped vats, 1000 liters oak casks and in 225 liters oak barrels. 50% of the wine is aged in first use French oak barrels for 14 months.

On the nose, smoky and spicy aromas from oak influence combined with notes of aromatic herbs, wild berries and flowers. It has a round palate with great acidity and round tannins. A great example of Uco Valley terroir.
