Ver Sacrum
Los Chacayes G.S.M.
Valle De Uco, Mendoza, Cuyo, Argentina
The 2021 GSM is a field blend of 70% Garnacha, 15% Syrah and 15% Monastrell from Los Chacayes in the Uco Valley. The grapes were harvested together in one row, and 50% of the wine was aged for six months in French oak barrels, while the remaining 50% went into concrete vats. Garnet-red with a brick-dust sheen. The nose shows strawberry and herb hints with a subtle layer of oak. Juicy and vibrant, the tannins are taut and reactive, creating a tart palate before the lingering, saline finish. This is a distinctively lean, flavorful red wine. (Joaquín Hidalgo, Vinous, September 2023)
