ALPAMANTA - Syrah 2016
Alpamanta in located in the town of Ugarteche, in Argentina. In 2005 three close friends, Andrej Razumovsky from Austria and his cousin André Hoffmann from Switzerland, joined with Jeremie Delecourt from France to establish a boutique winery in Mendoza Argentina. In the local indigenous culture, Alpamanta means “Love for the Earth”: all the agricultural practices are focused on respecting the soil and its biodiversity, helping to balance the ecosystem. The vineyards are internationally certified by Argencert Company, which is a part of Ecocert. All wines are from their single vineyard’s certified organic and biodynamic grapes.
This wine is made from Syrah harvested manually. The grapes macerated for 25 days and the fermentation started spontaneously with the indigenous yeasts. The wine was aged for 10 months, entirely in stainless steel tanks.
Grape variety: 100% Syrah
