Highlights

Varietal percentages: 100% Grenache
Vineyard(s): Corazon del Sol Estate Vineyards
Vineyard Notes: The vineyards of Corazon del Sol are nestled in the Tunuyán department, in the district of Los Chacayes. Across our 17 acres we have planted a variety of Rhône and Bordeaux grapes including Malbec, Cabernet Franc, Grenache, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Mourvèdre. Each of our three vineyards are planted on different soil types, which allows us to explore the different textures and complexities imparted by each one.These soils give us low yields, but high flavor concentration. At 3,600 ft above sea level, the vines enjoy an almost extreme elevation that contributes a beautiful natural acidity to our complex, delicate wines. Rainfall between 250 and 300mm per year allows us to farm organically and results in optimal health in our vineyards.

Winery Info

CORAZON DEL SOL

In 2008, Dr. Madaiah Revana went to Argentina seeking to add to his family of estate wineries which includes Revana Family Vineyard in Napa Valley and Alexana Winery in Oregon's Willamette Valley. Enthralled by the terroir of the Uco Valley, he was determined to find his next great estate here on the incredible alluvial soils of the Andes Mountains. The Corazón del Sol Estate is a 17-acre parcel planted in an ancient stone covered riverbed at the eastern base of the Andes Mountains and enjoys over 300 days of sunlight a year. Cultivated in the Uco Valley, which is situated in Mendoza on the eastern side of the Andes Mountains, the vines sit at 3,600 feet elevation, where the UV Index is intense, and the air is thinner and cooler. Extreme shifts in temperature allow for the longest ripening window in the region.
