- Argentina’s first GSM blend from a vineyard that is reminiscent of Châteauneuf-du-Pape at 3,600’ in elevation. unique and complex blend. Fresh red fruit with lively acidity and a spicy dark fruit core, complex tannins with layers of elegant texture. A pioneer wine that is making history in Argentina! ‘Luminoso’ comes from the original 3-acre block of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvedre that we planted to produce Argentina’s first GSM blend from a vineyard that is reminiscent of Chateauneuf-du-Pape at 3,600’ in elevation.
In 2008, these pioneering producers took a risk in planting a vineyard in the ancient river bed of Los Chacayes, the rockiest part of the Uco Valley. Now home to a small production winery and estate vineyards, Bodega Corazon Del Sol is dedicated to progressing the perception of world-class Argentine wine through Estate bottled single-vineyard expressions. Seven hectares of Estate vineyards are planted to Bordeaux and Rhone varieties at 1,200 meters in elevation and meticulously farmed and hand-harvested.

| Winery | These superb wines have been winning plaudits for their technically sophisticated Argentine style. Purple in the glass with a garnet sheen. The nose presents notes of fresh plum, hints of violet, aromas from the aging process such as cigar box, and hints of cherry, jam, and thyme. a nimble, juicy wine with a refined texture and finely-grained tannins with compact freshness. The finish lingers at length Planted in the ancient rock-covered river beds of Los Chacayes, Uco Valley - the 'Revana Vineyard' garners extremely low yields due to the arid climate and extreme terroir. Corazon del Sol selects the best 8 barrels from the 7 acres that they produce to produce this full-flavored, stunning wine. |
