On the nose, marked floral profile characteristics of this property, as well as the typical notes of the varietal: plums and fresh red fruit with floral notes and a subtle touch of spices from the local flora. A complex & balanced wine with a mineral texture and long finish.\n \n Producer Information\n Casarena is located in the heart of Perdriel, just a short 20 minute drive from the City of Mendoza. This viticulture project began in 2007 after the refurbishment of a century-old family winery, which was built in 1937. Within Luján de Cuyo, Casarena has different estates with different geographical profiles, such as height, orientation and soil composition. Each type of soil was deeply explored in order to showcase all the possible expressions of the same varietal in a single zone. With all the characteristics Luján de Cuyo has on offer, it is the perfect region to create wines that have their own unique hallmark. Winemaker Leandro Azin and Agronomist Pablo Ceverino are two of the best young talents in Argentine wine. The team continues to conduct ongoing intensive soil research on their vineyard sites that are unlike any other terroir found in Lujan de Cuyo. Their dynamic and collaborative teamwork in the vineyard and at the winery is the core behind Casarena’s award-winning wines that have such authentic expression of their unique vineyard sites. The name “Casarena†is a creative merging of the Spanish words “casa†(house) and “arena†(sand), and is a tribute to the sand-colored stone winery and the sandy soil that their estate is built on. All Casarena wines are vegan and sustainable certified; they are also working to obtain organic certification.
