ABOUT THE PRODUCER:
Founded in 2003, Andeluna produces premium mountain wines from their 70-hectare vineyard situated at an elevation of 1,300 metres in the rocky terroir of Gualtallary, Tupungato in the Uco Valley, Mendoza. By night, the moon can be seen illuminating the magnificent Andes Mountains nearby and the winery has been named after this stunning scene. The vineyard is managed using sustainable practices and in 2015 the entire vineyard was soil mapped with cultivation methods adapted accordingly. Since 2020, the vines have been certified organic. Winemaker, Manuel Gonzalez (previously Head Winemaker at Pulenta Estate and Chief Oenologist at Trivento) works alongside Andeluna’s wine consultant Hans Vinding Diers, together they use minimal intervention to create outstanding wines which have propelled this producer into the global spotlight in a very short space of time.

ABOUT THE VINEYARD:
The grapes were grown in vineyards located in the Uco Valley, at over 1,300 metres above sea level. The area is characterised by its wide diurnal temperature range, which produces grapes with a great intensity of colour and a distinctive aromatic expression. The vineyards are adequately irrigated through a drip management system, which provides exactly the right amount of water needed by the plant. Canopy management in the vineyard controls yields and produces small, concentrated berries with the perfect amount of sun exposure. The vines are grown in alluvial, sandy soils and the grapes are manually harvested at optimum maturity. The vineyard is cultivated organically.

THE WINEMAKING PROCESS:
The berries were carefully, manually selected by hand before vinification. A prefermentation maceration took place at low temperatures. Fermentation followed, with natural and selected yeasts in stainless steel tanks at temperatures maintained at 26°C. The wine was then aged in French oak barrels for a period of three months, followed by at least three months cellaring in bottle.

OUR TASTING NOTES:
Showing lovely cool climate Cabernet typicity of rich, deep cassis combined with red bell pepper, a hint of spice, white pepper and clove. Full bodied and textured, this has rounded tannins, big fruit flavours and a spicy, persistent finish.

GRAPE VARIETY:
Cabernet Sauvignon 100%.
