Vineyard Notes: 100% Corazon del Sol Estate Blocks 6, 13, & 22. 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 3600 feet elevation, where the UV Index is intense, and the air is thinner & cooler. Extreme shifts in temperature allow for the longest ripening window in the region and enables us to grow Bordeaux and Rhone varietals of the highest caliber.

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.

Malbec is the common thread between our vineyard sites. The Gran Reserva arises from the selection of the best barrels of Malbec from each vineyard site. With this blend of top barrels from each vintage, we create a very complex wine with great depth that maintains the elegance we strive for in all our wines.

Winemaker Notes

New and second-use barrels of two sizes, 225 and 160 liters, tame the tannins that come from the concentration of the clusters in the vineyard - the result of leaving a single cluster per shoot. Aging 18 to 24 months in barrel gives the last touch of finesse to this super premium Malbec.
