2022 Merlot '1300', Andeluna
Mendoza, Argentina
Nuances of red bell pepper combine with a hint of spice, white pepper and clove over deep, rich fruits. Full-bodied and textured on the palate with rounded tannins, big fruit flavours and a spicy, persistent finish.
The grapes were grown in vineyards located in the Uco Valley, at over 1,300 metres above sea level. The area is characterised by its wide diurnal temperature range, which produces grapes with a great intensity of colour and a distinctive aromatic expression.

Founded in 2003, Andeluna produces premium mountain wines from their 70-hectare vineyard situated at an elevation of 1,300 metres in the rocky terroir of Gualtallary, Tupungato in the Uco Valley, Mendoza. By night, the moon can be seen illuminating the magnificent Andes Mountains nearby and the winery has been named after this stunning scene. The vineyard is managed using sustainable practices and in 2015 the entire vineyard was soil mapped with cultivation methods adapted accordingly. Winemaker, Manuel Gonzalez (previously Head Winemaker at Pulenta Estate and Chief Oenologist at Trivento) works alongside Andeluna’s wine consultant Hans Vinding Diers, together they use minimal intervention to create outstanding wines which have propelled this producer into the global spotlight in a very short space of time.
The grapes were hand-harvested and macerated at low temperatures to start the extraction of colour, flavour, aromas and tannins. Fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks using natural and selected yeasts and was maintained at temperatures of approximately 26°C. Made in an unoaked style, to reveal the vibrancy of the cool- climate fruit.
