Santiago Mayorga was one of the first winemakers in a large winery in Argentina to take a risk in selling a wine labelled Criolla. He has always been an elegant champion of the underdog, and this lively red comes from a field blend planted at 1,000m in the Uco Valley – from which he carefully hand-selects the Criolla Chica bunches. The result is a rather deeply coloured wine, reflective of the high-elevation sunshine, and a perfumed expression of cherries and violets and fine, chalky tannins. A silky and seductive wine.
