Merry Christmas from Team Condor

Blend: 100% Tannat Location: Las Violetas Alcohol: 12% ABV Tasting Note: Beautiful rose-pink colour. The nose is truly inviting, packed as it is with red fruits like strawberry and cherry. The exuberant fruit continues on the palate, highlighted by a creamy mousse. Fresh and flavoursome with an intense mid-palate and moreish finish. Vinification: Macerated for 2 hours and then fermented, without any additions, for 22 days. The wine is racked and bottled at the very end of fermentation so it completes the process in the bottle. Vegetarian: Yes Vegan: Yes Food Match: Fresh salads, sea food, sushi, desserts.

Blend: 45% Grenache, 35% Syrah, 15% Mourvèdre and 5% Roussanne Location: Colchagua Valley Alcohol: 14.5% ABV Tasting Note: Fresh and easy drinking with the acidity and tannins to help the wine age over the years to come. Drink now or hold your peace for 5+ years! Grenache provides the fruit-forward part of the wine and also some grippy tannins, with Syrah adding structure and color. Mourvèdre adds elegance and finesse, and the Roussanne helps add some roundness and mouthfeel alongside a slightly tropical kick. Vinification: Grenache and Syrah harvested together and co-fermented in concrete with native yeast. Pulp and skins from Roussanne which was harvested for a straight white wine 10 days earlier (also co-fermented). Mourvèdre comes in 2.5 weeks later and with much lower Brix so we leave some Grenache and Syrah hanging to over-ripen and co-ferment with the Mourvèdre. This helps reduce the green notes that Mourvèdre can sometimes produce. The blend is made as soon as all the wine is pressed. Aged in concrete (lined, so neutral). Vegetarian: Yes Vegan: Yes Food Match: Very versatile, accompanies pretty much all styles and types of food, but a little bolder than the other wines so works well with darker meats. Has the acidity to cut through rich sauces too.

Blend: 100% Tannat Location: Calchaqui Valley, Salta Altitude: 1,800 m.a.s.l. Alcohol: 13.5% ABV Tasting Note: A clear, deep red with flashes of garnet. Ripe black fruits on the nose with notes of coffee, sweet tomato and thyme. Good structure defined by round tannins and nice acidity. Balanced and juicy, with a touch of spice and a silky finish. Vinification: The grapes are harvested early in the morning to arrive fresh for slow fermentation with native yeasts. Once pressed, the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation in French oak barrels. After 6 months of lees contact, the wine is racked and soft fining is carried out prior to bottling. Vegetarian: Yes Vegan: Yes Food Match: Ideal with stews and fattier roast meats such as lamb and pork. Also works very well with smoked foods.

Blend: 100% Chardonnay Location: Montevideo Alcohol: 13.5% ABV Tasting Note: Crystalline greenish yellow wine with intense aromas of green apple and buttery notes. On the palate it is fresh and light. Vinification: Cold fermentation in stainless steel to retain maximum freshness. Vegetarian: Yes Vegan: Yes Food Match: A perfect match for seafoods, salads and appetizers.

Blend: 100% Malbec Location: Famatina Valley Altitude: 900-1,400 M.A.S.L. Alcohol: 12.5% ABV Tasting Note: La Pausa Organic Malbec offers a deliciously ripe, fruit-driven nose with violet aromatics; a freshness on the palate complements the full, smooth, and rich fruit character of the wine, a note of spice adding complexity to the long finish. Vinification: 40% aged 3 months in oak, 70% French & 30% American. Vegetarian: Yes Vegan: Yes Food Match: Ideal with a juicy rump steak as well as with all other types of grilled red meats and tomato-based pasta dishes.
