Description
The Benegas Sangiovese comes from ungrafted vines planted by the family in 1935 and represents the perfect blend of ‘New’ and ‘Old’ world. Distinctly Sangiovese with an Argentine twist this deeply coloured red wine shows lots of wild red fruits with notes of vanilla and cocoa on the nose. The palate is nicely structured with more red fruits, hints of spice and perfectly poised acidity. The finish is long and balanced with herbal-tinged smoky notes.
Federico Benegas Lynch was raised at ‘El Trapiche’, a winery established in 1883 by his great, great grandfather, Don Tiburcio Benegas, one of the original pioneers of Argentine wine. The winery was finally sold in the 1970s and in 1998, following a successful business career in Buenos Aires, Federico returned to Mendoza to re-kindle his lifelong passion and professional destiny, wine. He bought Finca La Libertad, an historic 40-hectare vineyard with ‘soils’ of stone on the old Upper Mendoza riverbank in Cruz de Piedra, and the old winery that belonged to his mother’s family which he quickly set about refurbishing. His idea was based on the traditional French Châteaux system, where proprietorship of vineyard and winery are inextricably linked.

2020 Verum Chardonnay, Bodega Del Rio Elorza, Patagonia
Chardonnay
The grapes for the Verum Chardonnay are cool fermented for 15 days, 10% in American Oak and the remainder in stainless steel, before undergoing a further 6 month period in tank prior to bottling. The nose has subtle toast and vanilla with lovely integrated tropical fruit characters. On the palate the wine exhibits richness but also depth and balance. The diligent use of oak supports rather than dominates the stone and orchard fruit, with the refreshing acidity complimenting the cool climate style. In a nutshell, extremely enjoyable!
