Arriero Premium Blend - Hacienda del Plata

With the Hacienda del Plata Arriero Premium Blend comes a first-class red wine into the swirled glass. In this, it presents a wonderfully dense, crimson color. Held at a slight angle, the Bordeaux glass reveals a charming garnet red hue at the rims. Giving it some air in the glass by swirling, this red wine reveals a high density and richness, which is evident in strong church windows at the rim of the glass. The first nose of the Arriero Premium Blend shows notes of blackcurrant and plum mousse. The fruity aspects of the bouquet are joined by notes of barrel aging such as even more fruity-balsamic nuances.

This Argentine wine delights with its elegantly dry flavor. It was bottled with only 2.3 grams of residual sugar. This is a real quality wine, which clearly stands out from simpler qualities and so this Argentinean enchants naturally with all dryness with the finest balance. Excellent taste does not necessarily need a lot of sugar. On the palate, the texture of this powerful red wine is wonderfully fleshy. With its lively fruit acidity, the Arriero Premium Blend reveals itself to be fantastically fresh and lively on the palate. The final of this mature red wine from the wine-growing region of Mendoza, more precisely from Luján de Cuyo, finally impresses with good reverberation. The finish is also accompanied by mineral notes from the gravel-dominated soils.
