Lauri Viana, the Brazilian-born founder of Viana Wines, enjoyed car-racing in his younger years and adrenaline seems to be part of this boutique winery’s DNA. The Uco Valley vineyards for this wine sit at 1,100m. Grapes are picked by hand and undergo cold maceration and temperature-controlled fermentation with selected yeasts. The wine is aged for 24 months in new French oak barriques. Winemaking is under the supervision of consultant Michel Rolland. Dirceu Vianna Junior MW: Restrained but inviting nose of ripe dark fruits, violet, dark chocolate, spices and dried herbs. Excellent concentration, a sophisticated, silky texture and smooth tannins. Eugenio Egorov: Dried fig, prune and maraschino cherry on the nose, hints of leather, coffee, sweet tobacco and vanilla. Good acidity and complexity. Roger Jones: Intense, lovely dark fruit and savoury balance. A seductive, dark wine full of class. Drinking well, but is it closing down a bit?
