Description
The 2017 Luminoso is a distinctive expression of Los Chacayes in Argentina’s high-altitude Uco Valley, and a pioneering example of the region’s Rhône-inspired winemaking. A blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre, the grapes are hand-harvested and co-fermented, creating a wine of remarkable harmony, freshness and character.
Fragrant and expressive, the nose opens with vibrant red fruits, floral notes and hints of spice, leading to a palate where fresh red berry fruit meets a darker, more savoury core. Lively acidity provides energy and definition, while fine, complex tannins add structure and depth.
The combination of altitude, stony soils and meticulous vineyard work gives the wine an appealing tension, balancing richness with freshness. Elegant yet generous, the 2017 Luminoso is a beautifully crafted Argentine red that brings the character of the Uco Valley together with the timeless appeal of a classic Rhône blend.
