“The 2019 Pinot Noir Le Paradis from Gualtllary, Uco Valley is made with grapes from a parcel planted at a height of 4,900 feet above sea level. This wine has a complex, expressive nose featuring notes of fresh sweet and sour cherry, rose and damp earth alongside spices, hints of lavender and oaky aromas. It’s intense in flavor and gentle on the tongue. The freshness is packaged in silky layers and brings tension and vigor to the palate. Fruity aromas develop at the back of the mouth. The 2019 is a delicate take on Pinot Noir with accomplished ripeness and heightened freshness. The keys to this wine’s success are the balance brought by the high altitude and the care that went into the aging process.”

“The price tag is nearly as elevated as the 1,500 metre vineyard here, but there’s no denying that the result is one of the best Pinot Noirs in South America. Herbal, intense and spicy, with sinewy tannins, some clove and tobacco leaf notes from 50% whole bunches and the freshness and focus of its high-altitude, late-picked source.”
